Fix Recommendation

Add all ports, protocols, or services allowed by the PPSM CLSA by using the following command:

$ sudo ufw allow <direction> <port/protocol/service>

Where the direction is "in" or "out" and the port is the one corresponding to the protocol or service allowed.

To deny access to ports, protocols, or services, use:

$ sudo ufw deny <direction> <port/protocol/service>

Check Contents

Check the firewall configuration for any unnecessary or prohibited functions, ports, protocols, and/or services by using the following command:

$ sudo ufw show raw
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Ask the system administrator for the site or program PPSM CLSA. Verify the services allowed by the firewall match the PPSM CLSA.

If there are any additional ports, protocols, or services that are not included in the PPSM CLSA, this is a finding.

If there are any ports, protocols, or services that are prohibited by the PPSM CAL, this is a finding.
