  • The Juniper perimeter router must be configured to restrict it from accepting outbound IP packets that contain an illegitimate address in the source address field via egress filter or by enabling Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A compromised host in an enclave can be used by a malicious platform to launch cyberattacks on third parties. This is a commo...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Juniper perimeter router must be configured to block all packets with any IP options.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Packets with IP options are not fast switched and must be punted to the route engine (RE). Hackers who initiate denial-of-ser...

  • The Juniper PE router must be configured to ignore or block all packets with any IP options.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Packets with IP options are not fast switched and, therefore, must be punted to the route engine (RE). Hackers who initiate d...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to use a unique key for each autonomous system (AS) that it peers with.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the same keys are used between eBGP neighbors, the chance of a hacker compromising any of the BGP sessions increases. It i...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to use keys with a duration not exceeding 180 days for authenticating routing protocol messages.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the keys used for routing protocol authentication are guessed, the malicious user could create havoc within the network by...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The router providing MPLS L2VPN services must be configured to authenticate targeted LDP sessions used to exchange VC information using a FIPS-approved message authentication code algorithm.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) provides the signaling required for setting up and tearing down pseudowires (virtual circui...
