✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: To mitigate this issue, skip loading (blacklist) the affected soundcard using modules like: blacklist soundcore blacklist snd blacklist snd_pcm blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek blacklist snd_hda_codec_generic blacklist snd_hda_intel blacklist snd_hda_codec blacklist snd_hda_core blacklist snd_hwdep blacklist snd_timer onto the system till we have a fix available. This can be done by a blacklist mechanism, this will ensure the driver is not loaded at the boot time. ~~~ How do I blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically? https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 ~~~ Workaround: To mitigate this issue, prevent module tls from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
