| # 3.5.3 Ensure RDS is disabled |
| # |
| # Description |
| # =========== |
| # The Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol is a transport layer protocol |
| # designed to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth communications between |
| # cluster nodes. It was developed by the Oracle Corporation. |
| # |
| # Rationale |
| # ========= |
| # If the protocol is not being used, it is recommended that kernel module |
| # not be loaded, disabling the service to reduce the potential attack surface. |
| # |
| # Audit |

| # |
| # # modprobe -n -v rds |
| # install /bin/true |
| # # lsmod | grep rds |
| # <No output> |
| # |
| # Remediation |
| # =========== |

| # |
| # install rds /bin/true |
| # |
