Description Aoife Moloney 2026-08-18 15:53:11 UTC 
This is a tracking bug for Change: Disable in Kernel Crypto Userspace API (Phase 1)
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Disable_CRYPTO_USER_API

The in kernel Crypto Userspace API (CRYPTO_USER_API) is now deprecated upstream, with some parts of it being actively removed early in the 7.2 cycle, because of the security risk it contains. It is due to be disabled and actively removed from upstream in the near future. Restrict it's use in Fedora to known active users early so we can do a controlled ending of support and can make the community aware of it's pending disappearance and gracefully deal with unknown users.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
