✅ Remediation

For OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 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/4.15/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 sha256:7d339a1a461033ca021f645a6a0b448808472d7cee184e5fa0a9ccb34a8b156d (For s390x architecture) The image digest is sha256:bc2c70de0cdb11ffd7326b5bf3d514ba6c5e4707f49b0eb78e49621c9f96d318 (For ppc64le architecture) The image digest is sha256:bedbdbf3fd7f532c1e035969707d04271c0b9301d6c781d034608f382a11ba3d (For aarch64 architecture) The image digest is sha256:bcd6c0914a58c724e1c8f2b7f7ecd10cc6bb20ec73cf960700bf3a7faf2f308f All OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 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/4.15/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli. 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 advises to not run the podman kube play command with untrusted Kubernetes YAML file as input, additionally review the Kubernetes YAML file before running it through podman may help to catch maliciously crafted secretes or volumes that may be used to exploit this vulnerability. Workaround: There's no available mitigation other than avoid processing untrusted XML documents before updating to the libxml version containing the fix. Workaround: There's no available mitigation other than to avoid processing untrusted XML documents if the user is unable/unwilling to update the library. Workaround: Administrators can mitigate this issue by: Setting read-only permissions on protected files at the underlying filesystem level will prevent modifications. Configuring ```worm:grace_period = 0``` (zero or less) in smb.conf will eliminate the writable grace period (will eliminate the window in which the rename can happen), understanding that this may impact workflows requiring multi-step file creation. Workaround: Systems are not affected unless Samba Group Policy processing and certificate auto-enrollment are explicitly enabled. Administrators can reduce exposure by: Avoiding unnecessary use of certificate auto-enrollment. Ensuring your "smb.conf" does not contain a line like ```apply group policies = yes```. If , group policy is not be enabled, the vulnerable code will not run. Intercepting the HTTP request requires some control over the local network or other devices to intercept or redirect traffic. Some network administrators might assess this as a low risk on their networks. 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, ensure that systems configured to obtain network settings via DHCP in the initramfs are only booted on trusted networks. This vulnerability requires an attacker to control a DHCP server on the adjacent network segment. If network configuration via DHCP is not strictly necessary during the initramfs phase, consider using static network configuration. Workaround: No mitigation is currently available that meets Red Hat Product Security's standards for usability, deployment, applicability, or stability. Customers are advised to apply the appropriate security update once it becomes available. Workaround: Restrict DHCP server access on networks used for network boot (DHCP snooping, dedicated/trusted provisioning VLANs) until a fix is available. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, prevent the `cifs` kernel module from loading if CIFS client functionality is not required. This can be achieved by blacklisting the module. Create a file named `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cifs.conf` with the following content: ``` blacklist cifs ``` After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. ```bash dracut -f -v reboot ``` Disabling the `cifs` module will prevent the system from mounting CIFS network shares, which may impact functionality relying on this protocol.
