For anyone stumbling accross CVE-2017-6074 and thinking about whether Armbian installations are affected or not: we're most probably not since CONFIG_IP_DCCP is enabled as module only on some kernels:

root@armbian:/var/git/Armbian/lib/config/kernel # grep 'CONFIG_IP_DCCP=' *
linux-cubox-default.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
linux-cubox-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
linux-mvebu-default.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
linux-mvebu-next.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
linux-sun8i-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
linux-sunxi-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
linux-sunxi-next.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m
root@armbian:/var/git/Armbian/lib/config/kernel #

Searched in the wrong location in the first place

Sources are fixed and I don't mind if we push and update even it's not that critical.

 

I did patch / compile test only on sunxi-next so far.

Main repository was updated - all kernels were fixed and updated to latest versions.
