In networking, source routing allows a sender to partially or fully specify the route packets take through the network. In contrast, non-source routed packets travel a path determined by routers in the network. In some cases, systems may not be routable or reachable from some locations (e.g. private addresses vs. internet routable), and so source routed packets would need to be used.
Setting net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route, net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route, net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route and net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route to 0 disables the system from accepting source routed packets. Assume this system was capable of routing packets to the internet, an attacker could be redirected through the system to an internal private address using source routed packets.
None.
Run the following commands to verify source routed packets are not accepted:
sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route
sysctl net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
Set the following parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf or a /etc/sysctl.d/* file:
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
Run the following commands to set the active kernel parameters:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route=0
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route=0
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route=0
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route=0
sysctl -w net.ipv4.route.flush=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.route.flush=1
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0, net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0, net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0, net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
