uid=0(root) gid=1003(testusr) groups=1003(testusr) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023


all kernels since 2017 are affected. it looks like there is workaround if the kernel is not available
echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf
rmmod algif_aead
