Fix Recommendation

Configure OL 9 to prevent the tipc kernel module from being loaded.

Add the following line to the file /etc/modprobe.d/tipc.conf (or create tipc.conf if it does not exist):

install tipc /bin/false
blacklist tipc

Check Contents

Verify OL 9 disables the ability to load the tipc kernel module with the following command:

$ grep -irs tipc /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/tipc.conf:install tipc /bin/false
/etc/modprobe.d/tipc.conf:blacklist tipc

If the command does not return any output, or the line is commented out, and use of TIPC is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
