- # 3.5.2 Ensure SCTP is disabled
- #
- # Description
- # ===========
- # The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a transport layer
- # protocol used to support message oriented communication, with several
- # streams of messages in one connection. It serves a similar function as
- # TCP and UDP, incorporating features of both. It is message-oriented
- # like UDP, and ensures reliable in-sequence transport of messages with
- # congestion control like TCP.
- #
- # Rationale
- # =========
- # If the protocol is not being used, it is recommended that kernel module
- # not be loaded, disabling the service to reduce the potential attack surface.
- #
- # Audit
- # =====
- # Run the following commands and verify the output is as indicated:
- #
- # # modprobe -n -v sctp
- # install /bin/true
- # # lsmod | grep sctp
- # <No output>
- #
- # Remediation
- # ===========
- #
- # Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/CIS.conf and add the following line:
- #
- # install sctp /bin/true
- #
- parameters:
- linux:
- system:
- kernel:
- module:
- sctp:
- install:
- command: /bin/true
