✅ Remediation

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Avoid recursive cloning or updating of git submodules without checking the submodule URL. Non-recursive cloning is the default in git, so user needs to change this to become vulnerable ("e.g. by specifying --recursive").
