| V-264432 | High | The Riverbed ALG must be using a version supported by the vendor. | Systems running an unsupported software/firmware version lack current security fixes required to mitigate the risks associated with recent vulnerabilities. |
| V-238497 | Medium | If TLS optimization is used, the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) providing Signed SMB and/or Encrypted MAPI must ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data transmitted over the WAN. | Protecting the end-to-end security of TLS is required to ensure integrity and confidentiality of the data in transit.
Signed SMB and encrypted MAPI traffic use techniques to protect against... |
| V-238499 | Medium | If TLS WAN optimization is used, Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) providing SSL Optimization must protect private keys ensuring that they stay in the data center by ensuring end-to-end security. | Protecting the end-to-end security of TLS is required to ensure integrity and confidentiality of the data in transit.
The Riverbed Optimization System TLS optimization solution accelerates data... |
| V-238498 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must be configured to ensure inbound and outbound traffic is forwarded to be inspected by the firewall and IDPS in compliance with remote access security policies. | Automated monitoring of remote access traffic allows organizations to detect cyber attacks and also ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies by inspecting connection activities of... |
| V-238503 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) providing intermediary services for remote access communications traffic must use NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the integrity of remote access sessions. | Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection.
Remote access is access to DoD-nonpublic information systems by an authorized user... |
| V-238502 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) that provides intermediary services for TLS must be configured to comply with the required TLS settings in NIST SP 800-52. | SP 800-52 provides guidance on using the most secure version and configuration of the TLS/SSL protocol. Using older unauthorized versions or incorrectly configuring protocol negotiation makes the... |
| V-238501 | Medium | If TLS optimization is used, the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) that stores secret or private keys must use FIPS-approved key management technology and processes in the production and control of private/secret cryptographic keys. | Private key data is used to prove that the entity presenting a public key certificate is the certificate's rightful owner. Compromise of private key data allows an adversary to impersonate the key... |
| V-238500 | Medium | If TLS optimization is used, the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) providing intermediary services for TLS communications traffic must use encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of TLS. | Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session.
Remote access is access to DoD-nonpublic information... |
| V-238507 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) that provides intermediary services for TLS must validate certificates used for TLS functions by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation. | A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to... |
| V-238506 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments. | In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types); organizations must... |
| V-238505 | Medium | Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must not have unnecessary services and functions enabled. | Unrelated or unneeded proxy services increase the attack vector and add excessive complexity to the securing of Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) version 8.x.x. Multiple application proxies can... |
| V-238504 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must not have unrelated or unnecessary services enabled on the host. | Because Wan Optimization is optimally installed in the architecture at the perimeter, installation of unnecessary functions and services on the same host increases the risk by implementing these... |
| V-238508 | Medium | The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must protect the authenticity of communications sessions by configuring securing pairing trusts for SSL and secure protocols. | Authenticity protection provides protection against man-in-the-middle attacks/session hijacking and the insertion of false information into sessions.
This authenticity protection control focuses... |
