Vulnerability discussion

In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types); organizations must disable or restrict unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems.DoD continually assesses the ports, protocols, and services that can be used for network communications. Some ports, protocols or services have known exploits or security weaknesses. Network traffic using these ports, protocols, and services must be prohibited or restricted in accordance with DoD policy. The PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments provide an authoritative source for ports, protocols, and services that are unauthorized or restricted across boundaries on DoD networks.The Juniper SRX must be configured to prevent or restrict the use of prohibited ports, protocols, and services throughout the network by filtering the network traffic and disallowing or redirecting traffic as necessary. Default and updated policy filters from the vendors will disallow older version of protocols and applications and will address most known non-secure ports, protocols, and/or services.

Check content

Entering the following commands from the configuration level of the hierarchy. [edit] show security services If functions, ports, protocols, and services identified on the PPSM CAL are not disabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure functions, ports, protocols, and services identified on the PPSM CAL are not used for system services configuration. [edit] show security services Compare the services which are enabled, including the port, services, protocols and functions. Consult the Juniper knowledge base and configuration guides to determine the commands for disabling each port, protocol, service or function that is not in compliance with the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
