✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://images.redhat.com/ Workaround: Clients using only TLS 1.3 are not affected; the TLS 1.3 client handshake path validates the negotiated cipher suite. As a workaround for TLS 1.2/DTLS clients prior to upgrading, explicitly disable anonymous cipher suites (TLS_DH_anon_*, TLS_ECDH_anon_*) in the ssl client configuration, or restrict the client to TLS 1.3-only.
