score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* The qede driver changes rx-usecs: to 256 causing performance impact
(BZ#2176104)

* Intel QAT Update - (kernel changes) (BZ#2176850)

* In FIPS mode, kernel does not transition into error state when RCT or APT
health tests fail (BZ#2181730)

* "smpboot: Scheduler frequency invariance went wobbly, disabling!" on
nohz_full CPUs after long run (BZ#2188067)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
