✅ 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, Red Hat recommends isolating the Ceph messenger protocol to dedicated internal networks with strict access controls, limiting exposure to potential attackers. Administrators should audit and minimize the number of CephX client credentials in circulation and enforce strong credential management to reduce the risk of low-privilege key compromise. Where possible, deploy msgr2 with on-wire encryption to reduce passive sniffing exposure. It is strongly advised to apply vendor-supplied patches as soon as they are released, upgrade to fixed Ceph versions (Tentacle 20.2.4 or later), and rotate all CephX keys to the new AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA384-192 cipher type, prioritizing server-side keys. 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: Mitigation for this issue is to skip loading the affected module "netfilter" onto the system till we have a fix available, this can be done by a blacklist mechanism, this will ensure the driver is not loaded at the boot time. ~~~ How do I blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically? https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 ~~~ 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 on systems that do not require Wi-Fi connectivity, prevent the mac80211 kernel module from loading. 1. Blacklist the module by creating a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/: ``` echo "install mac80211 /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-mac80211.conf ``` 2. If the module is currently loaded, unload it or restart the system: ``` modprobe -r mac80211 ``` Caveats: Disabling mac80211 disables all Wi-Fi functionality on the host. Unloading kernel modules or restarting the system will interrupt active network services and running workloads. If dependent wireless drivers are actively in use, a system reboot is required for the configuration to take effect. 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. Workaround: See the security bulletin for a detailed mitigation procedure. 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.
