✅ 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: 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 this vulnerability, avoid using the -X or --xattrs options with rsync if extended attribute handling is not essential for your operations. Disabling these options prevents the vulnerable code path from being exercised. This may impact functionality that relies on extended attributes.
