Check: GEN005560
Solaris 10 X86 STIG:
GEN005560
(in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)
Title
The system must be configured with a default gateway for IPv4 if the system uses IPv4, unless the system is a router. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If a system has no default gateway defined, the system is at increased risk of man-in-the-middle, monitoring, and Denial of Service attacks.
Check Content
Check the system for an IPv4 default route. Procedure: # netstat -r |grep default If a default route is not defined, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Create or edit /etc/defaultrouter to contain the default gateway address. Procedure (for a default gateway of 192.168.3.1): # echo "192.168.3.1" > /etc/defaultrouter Restart the system for the setting to take effect.
