Disable RDS Support
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol is a transport
layer protocol designed to provide reliable high-bandwidth,
low-latency communications between nodes in a cluster.
To configure the system to prevent the rds
kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file /etc/modprobe.d/rds.conf:
install rds /bin/true
Rationale
Disabling RDS protects the system against exploitation of any flaws in its implementation.
