Ensure loopback traffic is configured (iptables)

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:74455Date: (C)2021-08-19   (M)2023-08-03
Class: COMPLIANCEFamily: unix




Configure the loopback interface to accept traffic. Configure all other interfaces to deny traffic to the loopback network (127.0.0.0/8).Loopback traffic is generated between processes on machine and is typically critical to operation of the system. The loopback interface is the only place that loopback network (127.0.0.0/8) traffic should be seen, all other interfaces should ignore traffic on this network as an anti-spoofing measure.
