Red Hat mitigation

Users that do not want to upgrade can address the vulnerability in several ways, but these options will break any site plugin: * Set http.disable_sites to true in the elasticsearch.yml config file on any node with a site plugin, and restart the Elasticsearch node. * Use a firewall or proxy to block HTTP requests to /_plugin. * Uninstall all site plugins from all Elasticsearch nodes. For Satellite 6.x and Sam 1.x you can simply firewall elasticsearch to trusted users only (e.g. root, katello, foreman).
