# Reversal playbook for mitigate_kernel_CVE.yml (CopyFail CVE-2026-31431 / DirtyFrag CVE-2026-43284 / CVE-2026-43500).
#
# Run this AFTER your distro has shipped the patched kernel.
# This playbook:
# 1. Updates the kernel via apt
# 2. Reboots and waits for reconnect
# 3. Verifies the running kernel is newer than the pre-patch version
# 4. Removes the interim module blacklists
# 5. Re-enables the affected modules live (no second reboot needed)
#
# Debian family only (Debian, Ubuntu). Tested on Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04.
#
# For exit-gateway nodes with --wireguard-enabled true:
# After this playbook completes, run the networking restore step on each node via:
# ansible-playbook deploy.yml -t ntm
# See the CVE patch documentation for details.
