✅ 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: This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the `uvcvideo` module from loading. See "How do I prevent a kernel module from loading automatically?"[1] for more information. Note that disabling this module will prevent UVC devices such as webcams or video capture devices from functioning properly. Preventing the `uvcvideo` module from loading is also an effective mitigation for OpenShift environments. Different methods of applying that mitigation are available, depending on the vulnerable cluster's configuration. See "USB CVE-2024-53104 Mitigation for OpenShift" [2] for more details. That document also details alternative mitigations available through the use of compliance profiles and USBGuard. 1: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 2: https://access.redhat.com/articles/7107058
