Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. The lack of authorization-based access control could result in the immediate compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive information. All DoD systems must be properly configured to incorporate access control methods that do not rely solely on authentication for authorized access. Authorization is the process of determining whether an entity, once authenticated, is permitted to access a specific asset. The Juniper Technical Library, Understanding User Role Firewalls, explains this Juniper SRX functionality in detail. This function integrates user-based firewall policies. Administrators can permit or restrict network access of employees, contractors, partners, and other users based on the roles they are assigned. User role firewalls enable greater threat mitigation, provide more informative forensic resources, improve record archiving for regulatory compliance, and enhance routine access provisioning. User role firewalls are more feasible with sites that do not have production workload and are used for employees to access network resources as opposed to large-scale datacenter environments. User role firewalls trigger two actions, retrieval of user and/or role information associated with the traffic, and determine the action to take based on six match criteria within the context of the zone pair. The source-identity field distinguishes a user role firewall from other types of firewalls. If the source identity is specified in any policy for a particular zone pair, it is a user role firewall. The user and role information must be retrieved before policy lookup occurs. If the source identity is not specified in any policy, user and role lookup is not required. To retrieve user and role information, authentication tables are searched for an entry with an IP address corresponding to the traffic. If an entry is found, the user is classified as an authenticated user. If not found, the user is classified as an unauthenticated user. The username and roles associated with an authenticated user are retrieved for policy matching. Both the authentication classification and the retrieved user and role information are used to match the source-identity field. Characteristics of the traffic are matched to the policy specifications. Within the zone context, the first policy that matches the user or role and the five standard match criteria determines the action to be applied to the traffic."
Checks: C-15724r297238_chk

If user-based firewall policies are not used, this is not applicable. To verify the existence of user-based firewall policies, view a summary of all policies configured on the firewall. [edit] show security policies If the source identity is not specified in any policy for a particular zone pair, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15722r297239_fix

Configure attribute-based security policies to enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources using the following commands. To configure redirection from the SRX Series device to the Access Control Service, from configuration mode, configure the UAC profile for the captive portal <acs-device>. [edit] set services unified-access-control captive-portal <acs-device-name> redirect-traffic unauthenticated Configure the redirection URL for the Access Control Service or a default URL for the captive portal. [edit] set services unified-access-control captive-portal acs-device redirect-url https://%ic-url%/?target=%dest-url%&enforcer=%enforcer-id% This policy specifies the default target and enforcer variables to be used by the Access Control Service to direct the user back after authentication. This ensures that changes to system specifications will not affect configuration results. Configure a user role firewall policy that redirects HTTP traffic from zone trust to zone untrust if the source-identity is unauthenticated-user. The captive portal profile name is specified as the action to be taken for traffic matching this policy. The following is an example only since there the actual policy is dependent on the architecture of the organization's network. [edit] set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy user-role-fw1 match source-address any set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy user-role-fw1 match destination-address any set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy user-role-fw1 match application http set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy user-role-fw1 match source-identity unauthenticated-user set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy user-role-fw1 then permit app

b
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must generate log records when firewall filters, security screens and security policies are invoked and the traffic is denied or restricted.

Without generating log records that log usage of objects by subjects and other objects, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one. Security objects are data objects which are controlled by security policy and bound to security attributes. By default, the Juniper SRX will not forward traffic unless it is explicitly permitted via security policy. Logging for Firewall security-related sources such as screens and security policies must be configured separately. To ensure firewall filters, security screens and security policies send events to a Syslog server and local logs, security logging must be configured one each firewall term.
Checks: C-15725r297241_chk

To verify what is logged in the Syslog, view the Syslog server (Syslog server configuration is out of scope for this STIG); however, the reviewer must also verify that packets are being logged to the local log using the following commands. From operational mode, enter the following command. show firewall log View the Action column; the configured action of the term matches the action taken on the packet: A (accept), D (discard). If events in the log do not reflect the action taken on the packet, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15723r297242_fix

Include the log and/or syslog action in all term to log packets matching each firewall term to ensure the term results are recorded in the firewall log and Syslog. To get traffic logs from permitted sessions, add "then log session-close" to each policy. To get traffic logs from denied sessions, add "then log session-init" to the policy. Firewall filter: [edit] set firewall family <family name> filter <filter_name> term <term_name> then log Examples: set firewall family inet filter protect_re term tcp-connection then syslog set firewall family inet filter protect_re term tcp-connection then log set firewall family inet filter ingress-filter-v4 term deny-dscp then log set firewall family inet filter ingress-filter-v4 term deny-dscp then syslog Security policy and security screens: set security policies from-zone <zone_name> to-zone <zone_name> policy <policy_name> then log Example: set security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust policy default-deny then log

Without generating log records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one. Access for different security levels maintains separation between resources (particularly stored data) of different security domains. The Juniper SRX Firewall implements security zones which are configured with different security policies based on risk and trust levels.

Without the ability to centrally manage the content captured in the audit records, identification, troubleshooting, and correlation of suspicious behavior would be difficult and could lead to a delayed or incomplete analysis of an ongoing attack. The DoD requires centralized management of all network component audit record content. Network components requiring centralized audit log management must have the capability to support centralized management. The content captured in audit records must be managed from a central location (necessitating automation). Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records. Ensure at least one Syslog server and local files are configured to support requirements. However, the Syslog itself must also be configured to filter event records so it is not overwhelmed. A best practice when configuring the external Syslog server is to add similar log-prefixes to the log file names to help and researching of central Syslog server. Another best practice is to add a match condition to limit the recorded events to those containing the regular expression (REGEX). This requirement does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device itself (management). While the Juniper SRX inherently has the capability to generate log records, by default only the high facility levels are captured and only to local files.
Checks: C-15727r297247_chk

To verify that traffic logs are being sent to the syslog server, check the syslog server files. If traffic logs are not being sent to the syslog server, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15725r297248_fix

Logging for security-related sources such as screens and security policies must be configured separately. The following example specifies that security log messages in structured-data format (syslog format) are sent from the source <MGT IP address> (e.g., the SRX's loopback or other interface IP address) to an external syslog server. [edit] set security log cache set security log format syslog set security log source-address <MGT IP Address> set security log stream <stream name> host <syslog server IP Address> To get traffic logs from permitted sessions, add "then log session-close" to the policy. To get traffic logs from denied sessions, add "then log session-init" to the policy. Enable Logging on Security Policies: [edit] set security policies from-zone <zone-name> to-zone <zone-name> policy <policy-name> then log <event> Example to log session init and session close events: set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy default-permit then log session-init set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy default-permit then log session-close

b
In the event that communications with the Syslog server is lost, the Juniper SRX Services Gateway must continue to queue traffic log records locally.

It is critical that when the network element is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it take action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include: software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Responses to audit failure depend upon the nature of the failure mode. Since availability is an overriding concern given the role of the Juniper SRX in the enterprise, the system must not be configured to shut down in the event of a log processing failure. The system will be configured to log events to local files which will provide a log backup. If communication with the syslog server is lost or the server fails, the network device must continue to queue log records locally. Upon restoration of the connection to the centralized collection server, action should be taken to synchronize the local log data with the collection server. By default, both traffic log and system log events are sent to a local log file named messages. You can create a separate log file that contains only traffic log messages so that you do not need to filter for traffic log messages. This makes it easier to track usage patterns or troubleshoot issues for a specific policy. A best practice is to add log-prefixes to the log file names to help in researching the events and filters to prevent log overload. Another best practice is to add a match condition to limit the recorded events to those containing the regular expression (REGEX).
Checks: C-15728r297250_chk

Verify logging has been enabled and configured. [edit] show log &lt;LOG-NAME&gt; match "RT_FLOW_SESSION" If a local log file or files is not configured to capture "RT_FLOW_SESSION" events, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15726r297251_fix

The following example commands configure local backup files to capture DoD-defined auditable events. [edit] set system syslog file <LOG-NAME> any info set system syslog file <LOG-NAME> match "RT_FLOW_SESSION " Example: set system syslog file<LOG-NAME> match "RT_FLOW_SESSION "

b
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must disable or remove unnecessary network services and functions that are not used as part of its role in the architecture.

Network devices are capable of providing a wide variety of functions (capabilities or processes) and services. Some of these functions and services are installed and enabled by default. The organization must determine which functions and services are required to perform the content filtering and other necessary core functionality for each component of the SRX. These unnecessary capabilities or services are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured. They increase the risk to the platform by providing additional attack vectors. Services that may be related security-related, but based on the role of the device in the architecture do not need to be installed. For example, the Juniper SRX can have an Antivirus, Web filter, IDS, or ALG license. However, if these functions are not part of the documented role of the SRX in the enterprise or branch architecture, then these the software and licenses should not be installed on the device. This mitigates the risk of exploitation of unconfigured services or services that are not kept updated with security fixes. If left unsecured, these services may provide a threat vector. Only remove unauthorized services. This control is not intended to restrict the use of Juniper SRX devices with multiple authorized roles.
Checks: C-15729r297253_chk

Review the documentation and architecture for the device. &lt;root&gt; show system license If unneeded services and functions are installed on the device, but are not part of the documented role of the device, this is a finding.

Remove unnecessary services and functions. From operational mode, display the licenses available to be deleted; enter the following commands. request system license delete license-identifier-list ? request system license delete <license-identifier> Note: Only remove unauthorized services. This control is not intended to restrict the use of Juniper SRX devices with multiple authorized roles.

These unnecessary capabilities or services are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured. They increase the risk to the platform by providing additional attack vectors. The Juniper SRX is a highly configurable platform that can fulfil many roles in the Enterprise or Branch architecture depending on the model installed. Some services are employed for management services; however, these services can often also be provided as a network service on the data plane. Examples of these services are NTP, DNS, and DHCP. Also, as a Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) device, the SRX integrate functions which have been traditionally separated. The SRX may integrate related content filtering, security services, and analysis services and tools (e.g., IPS, proxy, malware inspection, black/white lists). Depending on licenses purchased, gateways may also include email scanning, decryption, caching, VPN, and DLP services. However, services and capabilities which are unrelated to this primary functionality must not be installed (e.g., DNS, email server, FTP server, or web server).
Checks: C-15730r297256_chk

In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types); organizations must disable or restrict unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems. DoD continually assesses the ports, protocols, and services that can be used for network communications. Some ports, protocols or services have known exploits or security weaknesses. Network traffic using these ports, protocols, and services must be prohibited or restricted in accordance with DoD policy. The PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments provide an authoritative source for ports, protocols, and services that are unauthorized or restricted across boundaries on DoD networks. The Juniper SRX must be configured to prevent or restrict the use of prohibited ports, protocols, and services throughout the network by filtering the network traffic and disallowing or redirecting traffic as necessary. Default and updated policy filters from the vendors will disallow older version of protocols and applications and will address most known non-secure ports, protocols, and/or services.

Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port that has been left unattended. In addition, quickly terminating an idle session will also free up resources committed by the managed network element. This control does not imply that the device terminates all sessions or network access; it only ends the inactive session. Since many of the inactivity timeouts pre-defined by Junos OS are set to 1800 seconds, an explicit custom setting of 900 must be set for each application used by the DoD implementation. Since a timeout cannot be set directly on the predefined applications, the timeout must be set on the any firewall rule that uses a pre-defined application (i.e., an application that begins with junos-), otherwise the default pre-defined timeout will be used.
Checks: C-15734r297268_chk

Check both the applications and protocols to ensure session inactivity timeout for communications sessions is set to 900 seconds or less. First get a list of security policies, then enter the show details command for each policy-name found. [edit] show security policies show security policy &lt;policy-name&gt; details Example: Application: any IP protocol: 0, ALG: 0, Inactivity timeout: 0 Verify an activity timeout is configured for either "any" application or, at a minimum, the pre-defined applications (i.e., application names starting with junos-). To verify locally created applications, first get a list of security policies, then enter the show details command for each policy-name found. [edit] Show applications show applications application &lt;application-name&gt; If an inactivity timeout value of 900 seconds or less is not set for each locally created application and pre-defined applications, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15732r297269_fix

Add or update the session inactivity timeout for communications sessions to 900 seconds or less. Examples: [edit] set applications application <application-name> term 1 protocol udp inactivity-timeout 900 set applications application junos-http inactivity-timeout 900 Or Create a service that matches any TCP/UDP: [edit] set applications application TCP-ALL source-port 1-65535 destination-port 1-65535 protocol tcp inactivity-timeout 900 Note: When pre-defined applications are used in firewall policies, the timeout value must be set in the policy stanza.

Installation of content filtering gateways and application layer firewalls at key boundaries in the architecture mitigates the risk of DoS attacks. These attacks can be detected by matching observed communications traffic with patterns of known attacks and monitoring for anomalies in traffic volume/type. Juniper SRX Firewall DoS protections can be configured by either using a Screen or within the global flow options. Screens, also known as IDS-options, block various layer 3 and 4 attacks. Screen objects are configured with various screen-specific options and then assigned to a zone. The Juniper SRX can be configured with Screens to protect against the following statistics-based DoS attacks: IP sweeps, port scans, and flood attacks.

If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources will be unavailable to users. Load balancing provides service redundancy, which reduces the susceptibility of the ALG to many DoS attacks. This requirement applies to the network traffic functionality of the device as it pertains to handling network traffic. Some types of attacks may be specialized to certain network technologies, functions, or services. For each technology, known and potential DoS attacks must be identified and solutions for each type implemented. The Juniper SRX provides a number of methods for load balancing the traffic flow. The device can be configured for filter based forwarding, per flow load balancing, per-packet load balancing, or High Availability (HA) using additional hardware. Since the firewall is considered a critical security system, it is imperative that perimeter firewalls, at a minimum, be safeguarded with redundancy measures such as HA.
Checks: C-15736r297274_chk

Since load balancing is a highly complex configuration that can be implemented using a wide variety of configurations, ask the site representative to demonstrate the method used and the configuration. If load balancing is not implemented on the perimeter firewall, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15734r297275_fix

Consult vendor configuration guides and knowledge base. Implement one or more methods of load balance (e.g., filter based forwarding, per flow load balancing, per-packet load balancing, or High Availability [HA]).

DoS attacks can take multiple forms but have the common objective of overloading or blocking a network or host to deny or seriously degrade performance. If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users. The Juniper SRX must include protection against DoS attacks that originate from inside the enclave, which can affect either internal or external systems. These attacks may use legitimate or rogue endpoints from inside the enclave. These attacks can be simple "floods" of traffic to saturate circuits or devices, malware that consumes CPU and memory on a device or causes it to crash, or a configuration issue that disables or impairs the proper function of a device. For example, an accidental or deliberate misconfiguration of a routing table can misdirect traffic for multiple networks. The Juniper SRX Firewall uses Screens and Security Policies to detect known DoS attacks with known attack vectors. However, these Screens and policies must be applied to outbound traffic using zones and interface stanzas. Traffic exits the Juniper SRX by way of interfaces. Security zones are configured for one or more interfaces with the same security requirements for filtering data packets. A security zone implements a security policy for one or multiple network segments. These policies must be applied to inbound traffic as it crosses both the network perimeter and as it crosses internal security domain boundaries.
Checks: C-15738r297280_chk

Obtain and review the list of outbound interfaces and zones. This is usually part of the System Design Specification or Accreditation Package. Review each of the configured outbound interfaces and zones. Verify zones that communicate outbound have been configured with DoS screens.

If a boundary protection device fails in an unsecure manner (open), information external to the boundary protection device may enter, or the device may permit unauthorized information release. Secure failure ensures when a boundary control device fails, all traffic will be subsequently denied. Fail secure is a condition achieved by employing information system mechanisms to ensure in the event of operational failures of boundary protection devices at managed interfaces (e.g., routers, firewalls, guards, and application gateways residing on protected subnetworks commonly referred to as demilitarized zones), information systems do not enter into unsecure states where intended security properties no longer hold.

Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. The ALG generates an alert that notifies designated personnel of the Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) which require real-time alerts. These messages should include a severity level indicator or code as an indicator of the criticality of the incident. These indicators reflect the occurrence of a compromise or a potential compromise. Since these incidents require immediate action, these messages are assigned a critical or level 1 priority/severity, depending on the system's priority schema. CJCSM 6510.01B, "Cyber Incident Handling Program", lists nine Cyber Incident and Reportable Event Categories. DoD has determined that categories identified by CJCSM 6510.01B Major Indicators (category 1, 2, 4, or 7 detection events) will require an alert when an event is detected. Alerts may be transmitted, for example, telephonically, by electronic mail messages, or by text messaging. The ALG must either send the alert to a management console that is actively monitored by authorized personnel or use a messaging capability to send the alert directly to designated personnel.
Checks: C-15747r297307_chk

Verify a security policy with an associated screen that denies or mitigates the threat of DoS attacks includes the log or syslog option. Verify a log event, SNMP trap, or SNMP notification is generated and sent to be forwarded to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when threats identified by authoritative sources are detected. [edit] show security zones show security polices If an alert is not generated that can be forwarded to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when DoS incidents are detected, this is a finding.

Fix: F-15745r297308_fix

Configure the Juniper SRX to generate for DoS attacks detected in CCI-002385. DoS attacks are detected using screens. The alert sends a notification or log message that can be forwarded via an event monitoring system (e.g., via Syslog configuration, SNMP trap, manned console message, or other events monitoring system). The NSM, Syslog, or SNMP server must then be configured to send the message. The following example configures the zone security policy to include the log and/or syslog action in all terms to log packets matching each firewall term to ensure the term results are recorded in the firewall log and Syslog. To get traffic logs from permitted sessions, add "then log session-close" to each policy. To get traffic logs from denied sessions, add "then log session-init" to the policy. Apply policy or screen to a zone example: set security zones security-zone trust interfaces ge-0/0/2.0 set security zones security-zone untrust screen untrust-screen set security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust policy default-deny then log session-init
