✅ 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: 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: To mitigate this issue, prevent module brcmfmac from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, disable the Wi-Fi interface if wireless networking is not required. This can be achieved by preventing the `mac80211` kernel module from loading. To blacklist the `mac80211` module: `echo "blacklist mac80211" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mac80211.conf`. After modifying the blacklist, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect: `sudo dracut -f -v` and `sudo reboot`. Disabling the `mac80211` module will prevent Wi-Fi functionality on the system.
