Vulnerability discussion

Without establishing where events occurred, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know where events occurred, such as router components, modules, device identifiers, node names, and functionality.Associating information about where the event occurred within the network provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured router.

Check content

The router must log all packets that have been dropped via the access control list (ACL). If the router fails to log all packets that have been dropped via the ACL, this is a finding. Log output must contain an interface name as to where the packet was filtered. If the logged output does not contain an interface name as to where the packet was filtered, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the router to record the interface in the log record for packets being dropped.

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.
