Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during reception, including, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and during packing/unpacking. These unauthorized disclosures or modifications compromise the confidentiality or integrity of the information. Confidentiality is not an objective of DNS, but integrity is. DNS is responsible for maintaining the integrity of DNS information while it is being received. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000441-DNS-000066, SRG-APP-000442-DNS-000067
Verify Infoblox is configured to maintain the integrity of information during preparation for transmission. 1. Navigate to Data Management >> DNS tab >> Grid DNS Properties (Toolbar menu) >> DNSSEC tab. 2. Toggle "Advanced Mode" and verify DNSSEC and DNSSEC Validation are enabled. 3. Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Zones. 4. For all external-facing authoritative zones, review all external authoritative zones. Note: To add "Signed" column, select an existing column >> down arrow >> Columns >> Edit Columns. Set the "Signed" checkbox to "Visible" and select "Apply". DNSSEC signing status will be displayed in the Zones tab. Verify external authoritative zones are DNSSEC signed. If DNSSEC is not used for authoritative DNS, this is a finding. Note: DNSSEC is intended for third-party authenticity determination. Attempting to utilize DNSSEC internally was never an intended use case as it would require every consumer to have a third-party validating resolver installed along with a mechanism for periodic trust anchor distribution/update.
Note: To avoid signing with an unapproved configuration, ensure DNSSEC is configured on all external-facing zones to meet all other STIG requirements prior to signing a zone.
