✅ Remediation
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. The steps to apply the upgraded images are different depending on the installation plan approval policy you used when installing the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift. - If the approval policy is set to `Automatic`, then the Operator will be upgraded automatically when there is a new version of the Operator. No further action is required to upgrade. This is the default setting. - If you changed the approval policy to `Manual`, then you must manually approve the upgrade to the Operator. See https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/security/cert_manager_operator/index.html for additional information. 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: Red Hat has investigated whether a possible mitigation exists for this issue, and has not been able to identify a practical example. Please update the affected package as soon as possible. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, implement a timeout in your archive/zip processing logic to abort the operation if it exceeds a few seconds, preventing the application from consuming an excessive amount of resources.
