    Group
  • The DNS server implementation must maintain the integrity of information during reception.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during reception, including, for example, duri...

  • SRG-APP-000451-DNS-000069

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The DNS server implementation must follow procedures to re-role a secondary name server as the master name server should the master name server permanently lose functionality.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Failing to an unsecure condition negatively impacts application security and can lead to system compromise. Failure condition...

  • SRG-APP-000474-DNS-000073

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The DNS server implementation must log the event and notify the system administrator when anomalies in the operation of the signed zone transfers are discovered.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing t...

  • SRG-APP-000514-DNS-000075

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The DNS server must implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography for provisioning digital signatures, generating cryptographic hashes, and protecting unclassified information requiring confidentiality.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The applicatio...

  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000078

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Zone Signing Key (ZSK) rollover interval must be configured to less than two months.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;An attacker that has compromised a ZSK can use that key only during the KSK's signature validity interval. An attacker that h...

  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000084

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • NSEC3 must be used for all internal DNS zones.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To ensure that RRs associated with a query are really missing in a zone file and have not been removed in transit, the DNSSEC...

  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000085

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Infoblox system must ensure each NS record in a zone file points to an active name server authoritative for the domain specified in that record.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Poorly constructed NS records pose a security risk because they create conditions under which an adversary might be able to p...

  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000087

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • All authoritative name servers for a zone must be located on different network segments.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Most enterprises have an authoritative primary server and a host of authoritative secondary name servers. It is essential tha...

  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000089

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • An authoritative name server must be configured to enable DNSSEC Resource Records.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The specification for a digital signature mechanism in the context of the DNS infrastructure is in IETF's DNSSEC standard. In...

  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000090

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • Digital signature algorithm used for DNSSEC-enabled zones must be FIPS-compatible.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The choice of digital signature algorithm will be based on recommended algorithms in well-known standards. NIST's Digital Sig...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
