Disable ATM Support

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a protocol operating on network, data link, and physical layers, based on virtual circuits and virtual paths. To configure the system to prevent the atm kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file /etc/modprobe.d/atm.conf:

install atm /bin/true

Rationale

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