V-216132CAT III — Low severitySV-216132r959010_rule

The system must not respond to ICMP timestamp requests.

Rule version SOL-11.1-050020 · STIG v3 · 2026-08-19

Discussion

By accurately determining the system's clock state, an attacker can more effectively attack certain time-based pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) and the authentication systems that rely on them.

Check

Determine if ICMP time stamp responses are disabled.

# ipadm show-prop -p _respond_to_timestamp -co current ip

If the output of both commands is not "0", this is a finding.

Fix

The Network Management profile is required.

Disable source respond to timestamp.

# pfexec ipadm set-prop -p _respond_to_timestamp=0 ip
