How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 xwayland to version 24.1.5-150700.3.6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xwayland package and not the xwayland package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Big Requests extension. The request length is multiplied by 4 before checking against the maximum allowed size, potentially causing an integer overflow and bypassing the size check.
