The system must not forward IPv4 source-routed packets.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-12002 GEN003600 SV-38948r1_rule ECSC-1 Medium
Description
Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest routers forward the packet along a different path than configured on the router, which can be used to bypass network security measures. This requirement applies only to the forwarding of source-routed traffic, such as when IPv4 forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router.
