The operating system must prevent internal users from sending out packets which attempt to manipulate or spoof invalid IP addresses.

Description
Manipulation of IP addresses can allow untrusted systems to appear as trusted hosts, bypassing firewall and other security mechanism and resulting in system penetration.

Determine the zone that you are currently securing.

# zonename

If the command output is "global", then only the "phys" and "SR-IOV" interfaces assigned to the global zone require inspection. If using a non-Global zone, then all "phys" and "SR-IOV" interfaces assigned to the zone require inspection.

Identify if this system has physical interfaces.

# dladm show-link -Z | grep -v vnic
LINK ZONE CLASS MTU STATE OVER
net0 global phys 1500 unknown --
e1000g0 global phys 1500 up --
e1000g1 global phys 1500 up --
zoneD/net2 zoneD iptun 65515 up --

If "phys" appears in the third column, then the interface is physical.

For each physical interface, determine if the network interface is Ethernet or InfiniBand:

# dladm show-phys [interface name]
LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE
[name] Ethernet unknown 0 half dnet0

The second column indicates either "Ethernet" or "Infiniband".

For each physical interface, determine if the host is using ip-forwarding:

# ipadm show-ifprop [interface name] | grep forwarding
[name] forwarding ipv4 rw off -- off on,off
[name] forwarding ipv6 rw off -- off on,off

If "on" appears in the fifth column, then the interface is using ip-forwarding.

For each interface, determine if the host is using SR-IOV’s Virtual Function (VF) driver:

# dladm show-phys [interface name] | grep vf

If the sixth column includes 'vf' in its name, it is using SR-IOV (ex: ixgbevf0).

For each physical and SR-IOV interface, determine if network link protection capabilities are enabled.

# dladm show-linkprop -p protection
LINK PROPERTY PERM VALUE DEFAULT POSSIBLE
net0 protection rw mac-nospoof, -- mac-nospoof,
restricted, restricted,
ip-nospoof, ip-nospoof,
dhcp-nospoof dhcp-nospoof

If the interface uses Infiniband and if restricted, ip-nospoof, and dhcp-nospoof do not appear in the "VALUE" column, this is a finding.

If the interface uses ip-forwarding and if mac-nospoof, restricted, and dhcp-nospoof do not appear in the "VALUE" column, this is a finding.

If the interface uses SR-IOV and if mac-nospoof, restricted, and dhcp-nospoof do not appear in the "VALUE" column, this is a finding.

If the interface uses Ethernet without IP forwarding and if mac-nospoof, restricted, ip-nospoof, and dhcp-nospoof do not appear in the "VALUE" column, this is a finding.
