Disable IPv6 Redirect Acceptance This setting prevents the system from accepting ICMP redirects. ICMP redirects tell the system about alternate routes for sending traffic.

[no/yes]

It is recommended that systems not accept ICMP redirects as they could be tricked into routing traffic to compromised machines. Setting hard routes within the system (usually a single default route to a trusted router) protects the system from bad routes. Fix: Set the net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects and net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects parameters to 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects=0 net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects=0 Modify active kernel parameters to match: # /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects=0 # /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects=0 # /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.route.flush=1
