Incorrect capability checks could alllow a local user with root priviledges (but no capabilities) to add or remove Rados Block Devices from the system." ],

In most circumstances, the rbd kernel modules will be unable to be unloaded while in use.\nIf the system requires this module to work correctly, (Such as a CEPH node) this mitigation may not be suitable.\nIf you need further assistance, see KCS article https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 or contact Red Hat Global Support Services.",
