Last updated on DECEMBER 20, 2024

Applies to:

Linux OS - Version Oracle Linux 8.0 and later
Linux x86-64

Goal

The issue arises from the observation that while ipv4 accept_redirects are disabled by default for newly created interfaces, ipv6 accept_redirects remain enabled. This knowledge gap needs clarification.
