Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2/140-3 approved algorithm to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.
Description
Discussion Text
This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to eavesdropping, potentially putting sensitive data (including administrator passwords) at risk of compromise and potentially allowing hijacking of maintenance sessions.
Use only CTR cipher block chaining modes in compliance with CVE-2008-5161, plugin 70658 based on vendor guidance in KB20853. This prevents certain plaintext attacks in OpenSSH.
