✅ Remediation

If you are using an earlier version of RHACS, you are advised to upgrade to the version of RHACS mentioned in the synopsis and release notes in order to take advantage of the enhancements, bug fixes, and/or security patches in the release. Workaround: The system administrator on the host can manually chmod the directories to not have group or world accessible permissions: ``` chmod 700 /var/lib/containerd chmod 700 /run/containerd/io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri chmod 700 /run/containerd/io.containerd.sandbox.controller.v1.shim ``` An alternative mitigation would be to run containerd in rootless mode. 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 the issue, limit XML input size and complexity before parsing, and avoid accepting compressed or deeply nested XML. Use OS-level resource controls (like ulimit or setrlimit()) to cap memory usage, or run the parser in a sandboxed or isolated process with strict memory and CPU limits. This helps prevent denial-of-service by containing excessive resource consumption.
