> "By default, many linux systems enable a feature called ICMP redirection, where the machine will alter its route table in response to an ICMP
> redirect message from any network device.
> There is a risk that this feature could be used to subvert a host's routing table in order to compromise its security (e.g., tricking it into sending packets via a specific route where they may be sniffed or altered)."
> The below settings are already there in sysctl.conf.
>  net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects=0
>  net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects=0
> Mitigation:
> Issue the following commands as root:
> sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.secure_redirects=0
> sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.secure_redirects=0
> These settings can be added to /etc/sysctl.conf to make them permanent. "
