Hi, This came up today : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647416. It's the second vulnerability in the RDS (some crazy Oracle network protocol) code. As such, the admins have blacklisted the RDS module (since there's no patch for ubuntu yet, and Linus' comment was that the code is likely full of further holes). I'd like to suggest that in future when we find a bug in any of the kernel modules we have no reason to ever use (and there are almost certainly lots of these), we blacklist the module from then on. Someone should add a page to docs with a list of the modules we have blacklisted, and what they do then, so as to make it easier to keep the list across new installs, and so that people can figure out what's wrong when we do decide we need one of them. Thanks Cian
