SV-61089r1_rule The system must disable network routing unless required.

Vulnerability discussion

The network routing daemon, in.routed, manages network routing tables. If enabled, it periodically supplies copies of the system's routing tables to any directly connected hosts and networks and picks up routes supplied to it from other networks and hosts.Routing Internet Protocol (RIP) is a legacy protocol with a number of security weaknesses, including a lack of authentication, zoning, pruning, etc.

Check content

Determine if routing is disabled. # routeadm -p | egrep "routing |forwarding" | grep enabled If the command output includes "persistent=enabled" or "current=enabled", this is a finding.

Fix text

The Network Management profile is required. Disable routing for IPv4 and IPv6. # pfexec routeadm -d ipv4-forwarding -d ipv4-routing # pfexec routeadm -d ipv6-forwarding -d ipv6-routing To apply these changes to the running system, use the command: # pfexec routeadm -u

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.
