✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://images.redhat.com/ Workaround: To mitigate this issue, disable the `qlog` callback in applications utilizing the ngtcp2 library. This action prevents the vulnerable code path from being exercised when processing untrusted QUIC peer transport parameters. Disabling `qlog` may impact logging and debugging capabilities. Applications linked against ngtcp2 must be restarted for the change to take effect.
