Sun and ID 11834 - Source routed packets

Subject: Sun and ID 11834 - Source routed packets
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 17:03:40 +0200 (MEST)
Dear all,
like described in the named ID 11834:

"The remote host accepts loose source routed IP packets.
The feature was designed for testing purpose.
An attacker may use it to circumvent poorly designed IP filtering
and exploit another flaw. However, it is not dangerous by itself.

Solution : drop source routed packets on this host or on other ingress
routers or firewalls. "



on a Solaris 9
there is
set

ip_forward_src_routed 0

in

/etc/rc2.d/S68_whatever

Nevertheless I see the message in my nessus report.

Is there anyone, having an Idea?

Thank you.
