It is built as a module in Debian.
lsmod shows it is not loaded on any of the Trixie or Bookworm machines I have checked, Intel or AMD.

modprobe algif_aead
The following mitigation (from the article) does work for Debian 12 and 13, I've tested this: echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf
rmmod algif_aead 2>/dev/null || true
First line blocks it from loading, second line is unloading it if it's already been loaded. You can test with the same "modprobe algif_aead".
