Disable DCCP Support

An XCCDF Rule

Description

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 the file /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf:

install dccp /bin/false

To configure the system to prevent the dccp from being used, add the following line to file /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf:

blacklist dccp

Rationale

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