✅ 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: Disable ARP hardware address rewriting in ebtables SNAT rules, or remove ebtables SNAT rules that operate on ARP traffic on bridge interfaces. Workaround: See the security bulletin for a detailed mitigation procedure. Workaround: If bridge multicast snooping is not required, it can be disabled to prevent the vulnerable code path from being reached: ``` echo 0 > /sys/class/net/<bridge>/bridge/multicast_snooping ``` The br_multicast_leave_group() code path is only reachable when multicast snooping is active, so disabling it eliminates exposure to this flaw. Alternatively, avoid toggling multicast_to_unicast on bridge ports after it has been enabled. If multicast snooping is required, ensure that multicast_to_unicast is either left at its default (disabled) or, once enabled on a port, is not subsequently disabled while the port has active multicast group memberships.
