✅ 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 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, prevent the module cls_tcindex from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 on how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability. Workaround: This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the affected `ipvlan` kernel module from being loaded. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278. Workaround: This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the affected netfilter kernel module from being loaded. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, it is possible to prevent the affected code from being loaded by blacklisting the kernel netfilter module. For instructions relating to how to blacklist a kernel module refer to: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 Workaround: This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the affected `cls_flower` kernel module from being loaded. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278.
