How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 ostree.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ostree package and not the ostree package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in bootc and ostree. Already-staged deployments are finalized without revalidating the deployment's container image against the current containers signature policy. Unsigned OS content staged under a prior permissive policy can remain bootable after policy is hardened to reject unsigned images, leading to full host compromise on reboot.
