✅ 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: Prevent the `i40e` kernel module from loading if Intel 700 series network adapters are not present or required on the host. 1. Blacklist the driver by creating a configuration file in `/etc/modprobe.d/`: ``` echo "install i40e /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-i40e.conf ``` 2. If the driver is already loaded and not actively bound to essential network interfaces, remove it: ``` rmmod i40e ``` Caveat: Disabling this module prevents Intel Ethernet 700 Series network interfaces from functioning. If the driver is currently in use, unloading it will require a system reboot or network service reload, leading to temporary network downtime. Workaround: If enabled, you may disable MPTCP support.
