✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 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. Example: ```bash # Edit /etc/named.conf and remove or comment out lines related to tkey-gssapi-keytab or tkey-gssapi-credential. # For example, remove or comment out: # key "gssapi-key" { # algorithm GSSAPI; # secret "BASE64_ENCODED_KEY"; # }; # # Then reload the named service: systemctl reload named ``` Reloading the `named` service may cause a brief interruption in DNS resolution. 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: 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.
