# Rule ID: RHEL-06-000099_rule
# Severity: medium
# Rule Version (STIG-ID): RHEL-06-000099
# Rule Title: The system must ignore ICMPv6 redirects by default.
#
# Vulnerability Discussion: An illicit ICMP redirect message could result 
# in a man-in-the-middle attack.
#
# Responsibility: 
# IAControls: 
#
# Check Content:
#
# The status of the "net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects" kernel 
# parameter can be queried by running the following command: 

# $ sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects

# The output of the command should indicate a value of "0". If this value 
# is not the default value, investigate how it could have been adjusted at 
# runtime, and verify it is not set improperly in "/etc/sysctl.conf". 
# If the correct value is not returned, this is a finding.
#
# Fix Text: 
#
# To set the runtime status of the 
# "net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects" kernel parameter, run the 
# following command: 

# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects=0

# If this is not the system's default value, add the following line to 
# "/etc/sysctl.conf": 

# net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
