✅ 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 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.
