✅ 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: Systems which do not require it can blocklist the `can_isotp` module to prevent it from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for more information. Workaround: The rxrpc kernel module can be prevented from loading to mitigate this issue. This action may impact applications that rely on the rxrpc protocol. To blacklist the rxrpc module: 1. Create a file `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rxrpc.conf` with the following content: ``` blacklist rxrpc install rxrpc /bin/true ``` 2. Regenerate the initramfs: ```bash dracut -f -v ``` 3. Reboot the system for the changes 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: 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 mitigate this issue, prevent the `privcmd` kernel module from loading if Xen virtualization is not actively used on the system. This can be achieved by blacklisting the module. Create a file named `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-privcmd.conf` with the following content: `blacklist privcmd` After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. `dracut -f -v` (for RHEL 7/8/9) or `mkinitrd -f -v` (for older RHEL versions) `reboot` This mitigation will prevent the `privcmd` module from being loaded at boot, thereby eliminating the vulnerability. However, systems requiring Xen virtualization will lose `privcmd` functionality. 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. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, prevent the 'act_pedit' kernel module from loading. Create a file `/etc/modprobe.d/disable-act_pedit.conf` with the following content: `install act_pedit /bin/true` Then, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. This may impact network traffic control functionality that relies on the pedit action.
