✅ 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 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, disable IPv6 Source Routing by setting the `accept_source_route` sysctl parameter to 0 for all IPv6 interfaces. This can prevent the kernel from processing IPv6 Source Routing Headers, thereby avoiding the vulnerable code path. To disable IPv6 Source Routing: `sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route=0` `sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route=0` To make this change persistent across reboots, add the following lines to `/etc/sysctl.d/99-disable-ipv6-srh.conf`: `net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0` `net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0` Then, apply the changes with: `sysctl --system` Disabling IPv6 Source Routing may impact network configurations that rely on this feature. Workaround: See the security bulletin for a detailed mitigation procedure.
