Extra mitigation curation is currently supported only for vulnerability
7+

.. image:: images/extra_mitigation_curation.png
10+
11+
Follow these steps to provide mitigation information for these advisories.
12+
13+
1. Click the alias you want to curate (for example, **UBUNTU-CVE-2026-7790**).
14+
15+
2. Enter the appropriate mitigation types and mitigation data.
16+
17+
- For each package, provide the mitigation data and notes for the following mitigation types:
18+
19+
- **Upgrade to Versions**: Specify the version(s) users should upgrade to in order
20+
to remediate the vulnerability. Enter one or more fixed versions separated
21+
by commas (e.g., 1.0.1, 2.3.4).
22+
Use the note field for any additional upgrade guidance or constraints.
23+
24+
- **Downgrade to Versions**: Specify the version(s) users should downgrade to if no
25+
fixed upgrade is available. Enter one or more non-vulnerable versions separated
26+
by commas (e.g., 1.0.1, 2.3.4).
27+
Use the note field for any additional guidance or cautions related to the downgrade.
28+
29+
- **Apply Patch**: Provide a URL to the official patch or hotfix that remediates the vulnerability.
30+
Use the note field to include any additional instructions, prerequisites, or known limitations.
31+
32+
- **Change Config**: Provide the configuration changes that mitigate the vulnerability,
33+
such as modifying settings, disabling features, or enabling security controls.
34+
Use the note field to include any potential side effects or additional implementation guidance.
35+
36+
- **Apply Network Restrictions**: Specify the network restrictions required to mitigate
37+
the vulnerability, such as blocking or limiting access to specific ports, IP addresses,
38+
or network ranges. Use the note field to provide firewall rules, scope details, or
39+
additional implementation guidance.
40+
41+
- **Replace Package**: Specify the Package URL of the replacement package to use
42+
instead of the vulnerable package. Use the note field for compatibility
43+
details or additional guidance.
44+
45+
3. Click **Next item**. If the button is available,
46+
repeat steps 2–3 for each remaining package in the queue.
