There is a quick-fix mentioned in the fedora forum https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516949 It may or may not work only as a fix for the exploit code floating around. It consists of disabling the know faulty modules by adding (in case of SuSe11.1) to /etc/modprobe.conf.local: install ppox /bin/true install ppoe /bin/true install bluetooth /bin/true install appletalk /bin/true install ipx /bin/true install sctp /bin/true install irda /bin/true install x25 /bin/true install bluez /bin/true install ax25 /bin/true I didn't bother checking whether the modules exist at all as disabling non-existing modules should have no adverse effects. Obviously if you need any of those modules (like ipx, sctp (== ipv6) or appletalk) this won't work for you. Also I didn't test it with the exploit code so I can't comment on the effectiveness. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
