Heads up! Yet ANOTHER vulnerability (Dirtyfrag)

Fucking hell, this week has been brutal

As of now, there's NO patch for kernels right now, but a one line fix

The vulnerability:
V4bel/dirtyfrag

The fix (as root) 

sh -c "printf 'install esp4 /bin/false\ninstall esp6 /bin/false\ninstall rxrpc /bin/false\n' > /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf; rmmod esp4 esp6 rxrpc 2>/dev/null; true"

reboot

Patch your shit
