Check Content

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding.

Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 
Registry Path: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\

Value Name: DisableIPSourceRouting

Value Type: REG_DWORD

Fix Text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> MSS (Legacy) >> "MSS: (DisableIPSourceRouting) IP source routing protection level (protects against packet spoofing)" to "Enabled" with "Highest protection, source routing is completely disabled" selected.

This policy setting requires the installation of the MSS-Legacy custom templates included with the STIG package. "MSS-Legacy.admx" and "MSS-Legacy.adml" must be copied to the \Windows\PolicyDefinitions and \Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US directories respectively.
