Oh, I think I understand now. LKRG checks its known UMH program
pathnames at its initialization time and then only allows those that
were actually found on the system. Since you don't have
/sbin/bridge-stp, LKRG doesn't allow it. Then it also fails on trying
to block its execution because of CPA.
As a temporary workaround, you can try creating /sbin/bridge-stp as a
copy of /bin/false.
And we'll definitely need to fix LKRG to support UMH pathnames on
CPA-protected pages, and maybe reconsider it only allowing programs
that were seen at initialization (feels like unnecessary complexity).
