Configure TOSS 5 to not accept router advertisements on all IPv6 interfaces unless the system is a router.
Add or edit the following line in a single system configuration file, in the "/etc/sysctl.d/" directory:
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0
Load settings from all system configuration files using the following command:
$ sudo sysctl --system
Verify TOSS 5 does not accept router advertisements on all IPv6 interfaces, unless the system is a router.
Note: If IPv6 is disabled on the system, this requirement is not applicable.
Determine if router advertisements are not accepted by using the following command:
$ sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0
If the "accept_ra" value is not "0" and is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
