Vulnerability discussion

Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session. Quickly terminating an idle session also frees up resources. This requirement does not mean that the device terminates all sessions or network access; it only ends the inactive session.User accounts, including the account of last resort must be assigned to a login class. Configure all login classes with an idle timeout value. Pre-defined classes do not support configurations, therefore should not be used for DoD implementations. The root account cannot be assigned to a login-class which is why it is critical that this account be secured in accordance with DoD policy.

Check content

Verify idle-timeout is set for 10 minutes. [edit] show system login If a timeout value of 10 or less is not set for each class, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure all login classes with an idle timeout value. [edit] set system login-class idle-timeout 10 All users must be set to a login-class; however, to ensure that the CLI is set to a default timeout value, enter the following in operational mode: set cli idle-timeout 10

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.
