AI-suggested
Red Hat recommends upgrading to Red Hat OpenShift AI version 2.16.3 to fully remediate this vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately feasible and Kueue features are not required, the Kueue component can be disabled by setting its management state to "Removed" in the RHOAI DataScienceCluster resource. For versions 2.19 and later, additional mitigations include preventing the RHOAI operator from managing the kueue-batch-user-rolebinding by applying specific annotations and disabling the ClusterRoleBinding by changing its subject to a non-existent group. After applying official fixes, it is recommended to remove the temporary ClusterRoleBinding modifications. Users should follow Red Hat's official documentation and advisories for detailed upgrade and mitigation instructions.
