Frequently Asked Questions
What must an attacker be able to influence to exploit this issue?
The installer container must download and execute a remote inventory script without integrity verification. Exploitation therefore depends on an attacker being able to tamper with or control the remotely retrieved script or its delivery path.
Which deployments should be prioritized for remediation?
Red Hat advises all OpenShift Container Platform 4.16 users to upgrade to the updated packages and images when they become available in the appropriate release channel. The advisory covers OpenShift Container Platform deployments including Power, IBM Z and LinuxONE, ARM 64, and the standard platform.
How can administrators obtain the update?
Check for available updates using the OpenShift CLI (oc) or the web console, then upgrade the cluster through its applicable release channel. The advisory also identifies a separate advisory for the release's container images.
