GEN007940 - The system must not accept source-routed IPv6 packets.
Information
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 handling of source-routed traffic destined to the system itself, not to traffic forwarded by the system to another, such as when IPv6 forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router.Solution
Configure the system to not accept source-routed IPv6 packets.# /usr/sbin/no -p -o ipsrcrouterecv=0
