✅ 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 and if Ceph not being used, then prevent module libceph 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: If Ceph not being used, then possible to disable it. To mitigate this issue, prevent module libceph 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 vulnerability, prevent the `rdma_rxe` kernel module from loading. Create a file `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rdma_rxe.conf` with `blacklist rdma_rxe`. Regenerate the initramfs using `sudo dracut -f -v` (or `sudo mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)` for older systems) and reboot. This action may impact functionality dependent on the RDMA/rxe driver. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, prevent module sctp from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
