✅ Remediation

The container images provided by this release, apart from the installer, should be deployed using rhui-installer utility. See the official documentation for more details. 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: 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: Applications that process Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) EnvelopedData messages should be configured to only accept input from trusted sources. Restricting network access to services that process untrusted CMS data can also reduce exposure to this Denial of Service vulnerability. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, enforce strict validation on all uploaded PKCS#12 files to reject those containing abnormally short security keys. Additionally, enabling FIPS mode on your system can help protect your environment, as the vulnerable OpenSSL code operates entirely outside the approved FIPS cryptographic boundary. Workaround: Systems configured to operate in FIPS mode are not affected by this vulnerability. To mitigate this issue, ensure that OpenSSL is operating in FIPS mode by enabling the system-wide FIPS policy. This may have broader implications for cryptographic operations on the system and should be evaluated for compatibility with existing applications. A system reboot may be required for the changes to take effect. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, apply UDP rate limiting at your network edge to throttle malicious traffic. If QUIC is not strictly required, disable the listener entirely and configure your application to use standard TLS over TCP. Additionally, enforce strict process memory limits using cgroups to prevent host-wide memory exhaustion during an attack. Workaround: Avoid opening untrusted zip archives with Vim. This operational control prevents the necessary user interaction required to trigger the path traversal vulnerability in the `zip.vim` plugin. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, ensure that the OpenSSL QUIC server has client address validation enabled. This is the default configuration. If the `SSL_LISTENER_FLAG_NO_VALIDATE` flag is being used with the `SSL_new_listener()` call, it should be removed to prevent the vulnerability from being exploitable. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, ensure that OpenSSL CMP client applications only communicate with trusted Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) servers. If CMP client functionality is not required, consider disabling or restricting its use to reduce exposure. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, applications utilizing CMS_decrypt() or PKCS7_decrypt() should ensure a recipient certificate is always provided to identify the specific RecipientInfo for decryption. This practice helps prevent the Bleichenbacher-style oracle attack by ensuring proper key identification. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, restrict the maximum size of incoming XML payloads. It is especially critical to limit the decompressed size if the application accepts compressed XML files. Also, consider running the application inside a container or a restricted environment to ensure that the high consumption of CPU resources does not affect the host system. Workaround: The vulnerability arises from specific application implementations using OpenSSL's AES-SIV or AES-GCM-SIV modes with custom protocols and an atypical handling of empty ciphertexts. As this scenario is not a default or commonly deployed configuration in Red Hat products, and no direct configuration or operational control exists to mitigate this specific flaw without patching, the following applies: 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.
