Looking at the phoronix artcle and noting that CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m in my (stock standard) kernel configuration for 14.2, it seems there could only be a vulnerability if the relevant module (dccp) is loaded. I can load it manually but it wasn't loaded when I first checked. From that, I assume my system is not generally in any danger from this vulnerability. I wonder what usage scenario loads the dccp module?
BTW its presumably not just 4.9.x kernels that affected if the vulnerability was introduced in (at least) 2006.
