✅ 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: There is no complete mitigation for this vulnerability short of a fix, but the following steps significantly reduce risk: 1. Ensure cluster message authentication is enabled in corosync.conf: set crypto_cipher to aes256 and crypto_hash to sha256 (or stronger) in the totem {} block, with a shared key generated by corosync-keygen. This is the default when clusters are configured via 'pcs cluster setup', and disabling it (cipher=none/hash=none) is an explicitly unsupported configuration per upstream maintainer guidance. 2. Restrict network access to the cluster communication ports (default 5405-5412/UDP) to trusted cluster node addresses only, using firewalld or other firewall rules. 3. Ensure SELinux is running in enforcing mode on cluster nodes to limit the impact of any successful exploitation.
