✅ Remediation

The RHEL-8 based Middleware Containers container images provided by this update can be downloaded from the Red Hat Container Registry at registry.access.redhat.com. Installation instructions for your platform are available at Red Hat Container Catalog (see References). Dockerfiles and scripts should be amended either to refer to this new image specifically, or to the latest image generally. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability. Workaround: Red Hat recommends upgrading to a fixed release of Python as soon as one is available. This vulnerability can be mitigated by rejecting links inside tarfiles that use relative references to the parent directory. The upstream advisory provides this example code: ''' # Avoid insecure segments in link names. for member in tar.getmembers(): if not member.islnk(): continue if os.pardir in os.path.split(member.linkname): raise OSError("Tarfile with insecure segment ('..') in linkname") # Now safe to extract members with the data filter. tar.extractall(filter="data") ''' Workaround: Disable the `pam_namespace` module if it is not essential for your environment, or carefully review and configure it to avoid operating on any directories or paths that can be influenced or controlled by unprivileged users, such as user home directories or world-writable locations like `/tmp`.
