  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must use mechanisms meeting the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be r...

  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) performing maintenance functions must restrict use of these functions to authorized personnel only.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;There are security-related issues arising from software brought into the network device specifically for diagnostic and repai...

  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take c...

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved random number generator.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Sequentially generated session IDs can be easily guessed by an attacker. Employing the concept of randomness in the generatio...

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must protect against or limit the effects of all known types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on the network device management network by employing organization-defined security safeguards.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot ac...

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate an alert that can be sent to security personnel when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B occur.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;By immediately displaying an alarm message, potential security violations can be identified more quickly even when administra...
