Vulnerability discussion

Routing protocol daemons are typically used on routers to exchange network topology information with other routers. If this software is used when not required, system network information may be unnecessarily transmitted across the network.

Check content

Check for any running routing protocol daemons. # ps -ef | grep -v grep | egrep -i "route|ospf|bgp|zebra|quagga|ripng|ramd" If any routing protocol daemons are listed, this is a finding.

Fix text

Disable any routing protocol daemons.

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.
