GEN007900 - The system must use an appropriate reverse-path filter for IPv6 network traffic, if the system uses IPv6.
Information
Reverse-path filtering provides protection against spoofed source addresses by causing the system to discard packets with source addresses for which the system has no route or if the route does not point towards the interface on which the packet arrived. Depending on the role of the system, reverse-path filtering may cause legitimate traffic to be discarded and, therefore, should be used with a more permissive mode or filter, or not at all. Whenever possible, reverse-path filtering should be used.NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Configure the system to use a reverse-path filter for IPv6 network traffic.See Also
