✅ Remediation
Before applying the update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Also, back up your existing installation, including all applications, configuration files, databases and database settings. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, strictly limit the payload encrypted under a single key and Initialization Vector (IV) pair using the GOSTCTR implementation and G3413CTRBlockCipher to a maximum of 255 blocks. Alternatively, transition to a more secure, standardized and authenticated encryption mode. Workaround: To mitigate this flaw, sanitize all user-supplied input to remove or escape LDAP special characters before passing it to the LDAPStoreHelper for directory queries. If the input contains unexpected metacharacters such as asterisks, parentheses or backslashes, reject the request or escape the characters. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, enforce payload size limits on all incoming PGP messages before processing them. Additionally, apply memory quotas to the JVM or container environment to prevent a complete system outage in the event of memory exhaustion. Workaround: To mitigate this flaw, check that the signature sequence is not empty before passing any data to the CompositeVerifier for cryptographic validation. If the sequence is empty or null, explicitly reject the payload before it is processed. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, implement aggressive rate limiting and anomaly detection, specifically looking for unusual, high-frequency cryptographic handshake failures or anomalous traffic patterns targeting endpoints that handle key exchanges in the network logs. Workaround: Option 1 — Server-wide configuration to disable websockets handshake: <!-- Remove <websockets/> from standalone.xml servlet-container --> <servlet-container name="default"> <jsp-config/> <!-- <websockets/> ← remove this line entirely --> </servlet-container> isWebsocketsEnabled() returns false → no WebSocket upgrade accepted for any deployment. Option 2 — Per-application configuration to disable websockets handshake: <!-- WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml inside the WAR --> <jboss-web> <enable-websockets>false</enable-websockets> </jboss-web> Only that specific WAR's @ServerEndpoint classes are not registered. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, restrict Core protocol support on acceptors receiving connections from untrusted sources. The default "artemis" acceptor on port 61616 supports all protocols, including Core. Modify the acceptor URL to explicitly exclude the Core protocol using the "protocols" URL parameter. Alternatively, configure two-way SSL with certificate-based authentication to prevent unauthenticated exploitation. A service restart or reload may be required for changes to take effect. 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 utilizing Netty's HttpProxyHandler must ensure that any user-controlled input used to populate outbound headers is rigorously sanitized to prevent CRLF injection. If comprehensive input sanitization cannot be implemented, restricting network access to the application that uses the HttpProxyHandler can reduce the attack surface. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, configure any reverse proxies or load balancers in front of Netty to either reject HTTP/1.0 requests containing both Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Content-Length headers, or to explicitly prioritize the Transfer-Encoding header over Content-Length for HTTP/1.0 traffic. This ensures consistent interpretation of message boundaries and prevents request smuggling attacks. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, restrict network access to services utilizing netty-codec-redis to trusted clients and networks only. Implement firewall rules to limit exposure of the Redis service or the application using it to prevent unauthenticated remote attackers from sending malicious payloads. This may impact legitimate client connections if not configured carefully. A service restart may be required for firewall rule changes to take effect. 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: To mitigate this issue, configure applications utilizing Netty's `SslClientHelloHandler` to specify a non-zero value for the `maxClientHelloLength` parameter. This will enable the internal length validation, preventing the eager allocation of large memory buffers when processing crafted TLS ClientHello messages. Refer to your specific application's documentation for details on configuring Netty's TLS handler. A restart of the affected application or service is required for the configuration changes to take effect. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, restrict network access to services that utilize the netty-codec-redis component and process Redis traffic. Configure firewalls or network access control lists (ACLs) to limit connections to these services from trusted networks or localhost only. This reduces the attack surface by preventing untrusted remote attackers from sending malicious Redis array headers. Consult product-specific documentation for detailed instructions on configuring network access for affected Red Hat products. Reloading or restarting services may be required for network configuration changes to take effect, which could temporarily impact availability.
