Covert is a correctly spelled english word that could be used
appropriately for some security issues.

For instance:

security/keys/key.c: * security issues through covert channel problems.

Another possibility would be to fix the existing dozen or so misuses/typos.

$ git grep -i -w covert
Documentation/virt/kvm/x86/timekeeping.rst:4.8. Covert channels and leaks
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/executive/cvmx-pko.c:    * per word count. Multiply by 8 to covert to bits and divide
arch/powerpc/include/asm/vas.h:  * CP_ABORT to clear any pending COPY and prevent a covert
arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:   * any state and prevent snooping, corruption or a covert
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/iommu.c: /* covert to number of tces */

arch/sparc/kernel/chmc.c:/* Covert syndrome code into the way the bits are positioned
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptpf_main.c:         /* Covert requested cores to mask */
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_hwrm.c: * directly, taking care to covert such fields to little endian. The request
