✅ 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: 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.
