Description
A malicious user can exploit the ability of the system to send ICMP redirects by continually sending packets to the system, forcing the system to respond with ICMP redirect messages, resulting in an adverse impact on the CPU performance of the system.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-216376r959010_chk)

Determine the version of Solaris 11 in use. # cat /etc/release If the version of Solaris is earlier than Solaris 11.2, determine if ICMP redirect messages are disabled. # ipadm show-prop -p _send_redirects -co current ipv4 # ipadm show-prop -p _send_redirects -co current ipv6 If the output of all commands is not "0", this is a finding. If the version of Solaris is Solaris 11.2 or later, determine if ICMP redirect messages are disabled. # ipadm show-prop -p send_redirects -co current ipv4 # ipadm show-prop -p send_redirects -co current ipv6 If the output of all commands is not "off", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-17610r371217_fix)

The Network Management profile is required. If the version of Solaris is earlier than Solaris 11.2, disable send redirects for IPv4 and IPv6. # pfexec ipadm set-prop -p _send_redirects=0 ipv4 # pfexec ipadm set-prop -p _send_redirects=0 ipv6 If the version of Solaris is Solaris 11.2 or later, disable send redirects for IPv4 and IPv6. # pfexec ipadm set-prop -p send_redirects=off ipv4 # pfexec ipadm set-prop -p send_redirects=off ipv6
