GROUP ID: V-253353
RULE ID: SV-253353r991589

Configuring the system to disable IPv6 source routing protects against spoofing.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> MSS (Legacy) >> 'MSS: (DisableIPSourceRouting IPv6) IP source routing protection level (protects against packet spoofing)'

to 'Highest protection, source routing is completely disabled'.

This policy setting requires the installation of the MSS-Legacy custom templates included with the STIG package. 'MSS-Legacy.admx' and 'MSS-Legacy.adml' must be copied to the \Windows\PolicyDefinitions and \Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US directories respectively.
