JUNI-ND-000530 - The Juniper router must be configured to implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts - ssh mac
Information
A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be vulnerable to a replay attack.An authentication process resists replay attacks if it is impractical to achieve a successful authentication by recording and replaying a previous authentication message.
Techniques used to address this include protocols using nonces (e.g., numbers generated for a specific one-time use) or challenges (e.g., TLS, WS_Security). Additional techniques include time-synchronous or challenge-response one-time authenticators.
Solution
Configure SSH to use FIPS-140-2 compliant HMACs as shown in the example below.[edit system services]
set ssh protocol-version v2
set ssh macs [hmac-sha2-256 hmac-sha2-512]
Note: An SSH configuration enables a server and client to authorize the negotiation of only those algorithms that are configured from the allowed list. If a user tries to negotiate using an algorithm that is not part of the allowed list, the request is rejected and the session is not established.
