https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-721
Description:
Previous versions of the kernel package are vulnerable to remote
denial of service attacks if the dvb-core module is loaded and
configured to enable IP traffic over Digital Video Broadcast ISO
MPEG-2 Transport Streams (RFC4326, RFC4259). The tools to configure
it are not included in rPath Linux, so rPath Linux in its default
configuration is not vulnerable.
