Fix Recommendation

Prevent the RDS protocol handler from dynamic loading:

# echo "install rds /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local

Check Contents

Ask the SA if RDS is required by application software running on the system. If so, this is not applicable.

Check that the RDS protocol handler is prevented from dynamic loading:

# grep "install rds /bin/true" /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.local /etc/modprobe.d/*

If no result is returned, this is a finding.
