The provided Red Hat advisory link should be monitored for updates. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to Jenkins config.xml submissions to trusted users only and consider isolating Jenkins controllers to limit exposure.
Description
In Jenkins 2.567 and earlier, LTS 2.555.2 and earlier, it is possible for attackers to have Jenkins deserialize arbitrary types defined in Jenkins core or plugins from an attacker-controlled `config.xml` submission in a way that allows them to handle HTTP requests afterwards. This can be used to impersonate any user and send HTTP requests on their behalf, up to and including use of the Script Console to run arbitrary code, or to read arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller.
