✅ 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: Do not extract archives from untrusted sources with the Python tarfile module. Users of the module should add sanity checks when calling the tarfile.extract or tarfile.extractall functions. 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.
