Discussion

IP tunneling mechanisms can be used to bypass network filtering. If tunneling is required, it must be documented with the information system security officer (ISSO).

Check Content

Verify TOSS 5 does not have unauthorized IP tunnels configured.

Determine if the "IPsec" service is active using the following command:

$ systemctl status ipsec

ipsec.service - Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Protocol Daemon for IPsec
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ipsec.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

If the "IPsec" service is active, check for configured IPsec connections ("conn"), using the following command:

$ grep -rni conn /etc/ipsec.conf /etc/ipsec.d/ 

Verify any returned results are documented with the ISSO.

If the IPsec tunnels are active and not approved, this is a finding.
