✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://images.redhat.com/ Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid using the `sed -i --follow-symlinks` command in privileged contexts or on paths that can be influenced by untrusted users. This flaw specifically affects the `--follow-symlinks` option, which, when used by a privileged process on an attacker-controlled path, can lead to arbitrary file overwrite.
