Workarounds

NetApp E-Series Performance Analyzer:
Configure the E-Series Performance Analyzer to use grafana version 9.0.3 or higher which includes a non-vulnerable version of glibc. This can be set in the .env file with the CONTAINER_GRAFANA_TAG variable. After the change the Performance Analyzer will need to be restarted with a 'make restart' command.
