From d0b0dd0b85848eef9012d6e445201de5e67d0de4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2019 00:29:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hamradio: Disable auto-loading as mitigation against local exploits Forwarded: not-needed We can mitigate the effect of vulnerabilities in obscure protocols by preventing unprivileged users from loading the modules, so that they are only exploitable on systems where the administrator has chosen to load the protocol. The 'ham' radio protocols (ax25, netrom, rose) are not actively maintained or widely used. Therefore disable auto-loading.
