## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on SUSE SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15-LTSS, SUSE SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP 15, openSUSE openSUSE Leap 15.1 or the other affected packages, upgrade to a fixed version (2.4.46-9.37.1, 2.4.46-lp151.10.18.1, 2.4.46-lp152.14.9.1) per the references below.
