Disable DCCP Support

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

This entry will cause a non-zero return value during a dccp module installation and additionally convey the meaning of the entry to the user in form of an error message. If you would like to omit a non-zero return value and an error message, you may want to add a different line instead (both /bin/true and /bin/false are allowed by OVAL and will be accepted by the scan):

install dccp /bin/true

Rationale

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

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if rpm --quiet -q kernel-core; then

if LC_ALL=C grep -q -m 1 "^install dccp" /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf ; then
	
	sed -i 's#^install dccp.*#install dccp /bin/false#g' /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf
else
	echo -e "\n# Disable per security requirements" >> /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf
	echo "install dccp /bin/false" >> /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf
fi

if ! LC_ALL=C grep -q -m 1 "^blacklist dccp$" /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf ; then
	echo "blacklist dccp" >> /etc/modprobe.d/dccp.conf
fi

else
    >&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
