✅ Remediation
For OpenShift Container Platform 4.22 see the following documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for important instructions on how to upgrade your cluster and fully apply this asynchronous errata update: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.22/html/release_notes/ You may download the oc tool and use it to inspect release image metadata for x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, and aarch64 architectures. The image digests may be found at https://quay.io/repository/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release?tab=tags. The sha values for the release are as follows: (For x86_64 architecture) The image digest is sha256:7130a86441e55382a1eecf141edefd4a83c6eb7b27c6cb67883027736b8242b3 (For s390x architecture) The image digest is sha256:d2fc4065149f9310168334a67e530e58d6a80f302877493e9fee91547accb27f (For ppc64le architecture) The image digest is sha256:a0eb0d2d1b0ae972b00535e3f8b25a825efccca03ac01f1682fbd7f7b790d63d (For aarch64 architecture) The image digest is sha256:9bf8fa70aacd7119c25e466d563b24b867de1c16648a975978cfb42de7aacc6a All OpenShift Container Platform 4.22 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images when they are available in the appropriate release channel. To check for available updates, use the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.22/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli. Workaround: Disclaimer: The following mitigation notes are provided as a courtesy, pending the application of an official patch. This content was generated utilizing AI tools in conjunction with data from cmetaxonomy.org. Customers are advised to independently evaluate and test these temporary mitigations within their own infrastructure. ISC states no workarounds exist. Until patched, restrict the resolver to authorized client networks and deploy separate resolvers per trust zone. Memory hardening and auth controls don't apply — this is a DNS protocol logic error using validly-signed records. Workaround: Disclaimer: The following mitigation solutions are provided as a courtesy, pending the application of an official patch. This content was generated utilizing AI tools in conjunction with data from cmetaxonomy.org. Customers are advised to independently evaluate and test these temporary mitigations within their own infrastructure. If OVS is not required on a given system, unloading the openvswitch module (`modprobe -r openvswitch`) eliminates the attack surface entirely. For systems that require OVS but cannot patch immediately, the single most effective mitigation is disabling unprivileged user namespaces (`sysctluser.max_user_namespaces=0`), which blocks the primary path an unprivileged attacker uses to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN and reach the vulnerable netlink interface. Standard kernel hardening (KASLR, SMEP, SMAP, kptr_restrict) is enabled by default on supported RHEL kernels and significantly increases exploitation complexity, but these controls are defense-in-depth and not a substitute for patching or removing the vulnerable module.
