List,
this web site mentions a vulnerability in linux,
http://www.pcworld.com/article/208452/two_vulnerabilities_provide_root_access_on_linux.html
and suggests a way to prevent a problem, like this:
Alternatively, preventing the RDS kernel module from loading is also an
effective workaround, VSR said. That can be achieved by executing the
following command as root:
echo "alias net-pf-21 off" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-rds
does that work? and if so, what does it do?
