Commit message

DCCP has had many vulnerabilities reported and is not well maintained upstream. It seems to not be used by packages in the archive. Doing a quick scan on codesearch.debian.net, DCCP appears mostly in monitoring tools and languages headers.

Sysadmins can still modify the modprobe file or manually load the necessary modules.

Description of the change

Running a program that tries to use a DCCP socket, it fails to create such a socket when this fix is applied. Programs that could have been used to DoS the system will fail in such situations.

modprobe.d: blacklist dccp

DCCP has had many vulnerabilities reported and is not well maintained
upstream. It seems to not be used by packages in the archive. Doing a
quick scan on codesearch.debian.net, DCCP appears mostly in monitoring
tools and languages headers.

Sysadmins can still modify the modprobe file or manually load the necessary
modules.
