Information

Disabling DCCP protects the system against exploitation of any flaws in its implementation.

Solution

The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a relatively new transport layer protocol, designed to support streaming media and telephony. To configure the system to prevent the 'dccp' kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to a file in the directory '/etc/modprobe.d':

install dccp /bin/true
