The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must use anti-replay mechanisms for security associations.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Anti-replay is an IPsec security mechanism at a packet level which helps to avoid unwanted users from intercepting and modifying an ESP packet. The SRX adds a sequence number to the ESP encapsulation which is verified by the VPN peer so packets are received within a correct sequence. This will cause issues if packets are not received in the order in which they were sent out. By default the SRX has a replay window of 64 or 32, depending on the platform. The SRX drops packets received out of order that are not received within this window. However, this default may be overridden by setting the option no-anti-replay as follows: set security vpn name ike no-anti-replay.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
