✅ 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: To mitigate this issue, prevent module rxrpc 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: 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: 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 IP Virtual Server kernel module from loading if IPVS load balancing services are not required: 1. Create a configuration file to disable module loading: # echo "install ip_vs /bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/ip_vs.conf 2. If the module is already loaded, remove it: # modprobe -r ip_vs Caveats: Disabling this module will disrupt systems actively utilizing IPVS for network load balancing, clustering (such as Keepalived), or container ingress proxies. If the module is currently in use and cannot be unloaded with modprobe, a system restart will be required for the configuration to take effect.
