✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: No mitigation is currently available that meets Red Hat Product Security’s standards for usability, deployment, applicability, or stability. 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: To mitigate the issue, limit XML input size and complexity before parsing, and avoid accepting compressed or deeply nested XML. Use OS-level resource controls (like ulimit or setrlimit()) to cap memory usage, or run the parser in a sandboxed or isolated process with strict memory and CPU limits. This helps prevent denial-of-service by containing excessive resource consumption. 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.
