✅ 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, restrict network access to systems running BusyBox as a DHCPv6 client, ensuring that only trusted DHCPv6 servers can communicate with it. If the DHCPv6 client functionality is not essential for the system's operation, consider disabling the `udhcpc6` service or configuring it to only accept responses from known, trusted sources. Consult product-specific documentation for details on managing network services and configurations. Any changes to network service configurations may require a service restart to take effect, potentially impacting network connectivity.
