✅ 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: To mitigate this issue, applications can be configured to use the pure Go DNS resolver instead of the `cgo` DNS resolver. This can be achieved by setting the `GODEBUG` environment variable to `netdns=go`. For example, to run a Go application with this mitigation: `GODEBUG=netdns=go /path/to/your/go/application`. This change may require restarting affected applications or services to take effect. Users should verify that this change does not negatively impact DNS resolution for their specific application environment. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, Red Hat recommends only running containers from trusted images. Additionally, users should avoid piping compressed archives into containers created from untrusted images. For environments utilizing authorization plugins, restricting access to the `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` endpoint can further reduce exposure.
