Assessment Title
Rule Text
Alma Linux OS 9 must not accept IPv4 source-routed packets by default.
Description
Discussion Text
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 IP forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router.
Accepting source-routed packets has few legitimate uses. It must be disabled unless it is absolutely required.
