# 3.5.2 Ensure DCCP is disabled # # Description # =========== # The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport layer protocol # that supports streaming media and telephony. DCCP provides a way to gain # access to congestion control, without having to do it at the application # layer, but does not provide in-sequence delivery. # # Rationale # ========= # If the protocol is not required, it is recommended that the drivers not be # installed to reduce the potential attack surface. # # Audit # ===== # Run the following commands and verify the output is as indicated: # # # modprobe -n -v dccp # install /bin/true # # lsmod | grep dccp # # # Remediation # =========== # Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/CIS.conf and add the following line: # # install dccp /bin/true # parameters: linux: system: kernel: module: dccp: install: command: /bin/true
