The system must disable TCP reverse IP source routing.

Rule version SOL-11.1-050100 · STIG v3 · 2026-08-19

Discussion

If enabled, reverse IP source routing would allow an attacker to more easily complete a three-way TCP handshake and spoof new connections.

Check

Determine if TCP reverse IP source routing is disabled.

# ipadm show-prop -p _rev_src_routes -co current tcp

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

Fix

The Network Management profile is required.

Disable reverse source routing.

# pfexec ipadm set-prop -p _rev_src_routes=0 tcp
