which is not really cool I mean I at least need to check two kernels:

- Linux git 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:07:41 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 16.04, but I can probably switch to HWE) - Linux censored 3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 18 13:06:36 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (CentOS 7.3.1611)

not really cool :/

happily I have no udp traffic and the AWS/internal firewall blocks all udp traffic by default.

Apparently xenial 4.4 is not affected.
