| V-12002 | GEN003600 | SV-12503r2_rule | ECSC-1 | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest that 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. |
