✅ 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. Red Hat recommends treating all kernel errata as security-relevant. Given the kernel's fundamental role, any bug has a higher chance of impacting system security, even if that impact only becomes clear after a fix is published. Therefore, Red Hat prioritizes delivering fixes that improve our customers' overall security posture. Because of this proactive approach, a patch may be associated with a CVE assignment at a future date. Retroactive CVE assignments are always documented in the corresponding errata and on Red Hat's CVE pages. We strongly advise against delaying updates, as doing so may leave your system exposed when protections are already available. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability. Workaround: To prevent the `tegra_se_aes` crypto module from being loaded, blacklist it by creating a configuration file. Create `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-tegra.conf` with the content: ``` blacklist tegra_se_aes ``` Then, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect: ```bash dracut -f -v $(uname -r) reboot ``` This action may affect system functionality if NVIDIA Tegra hardware and its cryptographic features are actively utilized.
