Fix Recommendation

Configure the operating system to disable the ability to use the CAN protocol kernel module.

Add or update the following lines in the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf":

install CAN /bin/true
blacklist CAN

Reboot the system for the settings to take effect.

Check Contents

Verify the operating system disables the ability to load the CAN protocol kernel module.

$ sudo grep -ri CAN /etc/modprobe.d/* | grep -i "/bin/true"

install CAN /bin/true

If the command does not return any output, or the line is commented out, and use of the CAN protocol is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.

Verify the operating system disables the ability to use the CAN protocol.

Check to see if the CAN protocol is disabled with the following command:

$ sudo grep -ri CAN /etc/modprobe.d/* | grep -i "blacklist"

blacklist CAN

If the command does not return any output or the output is not "blacklist CAN", and use of the CAN protocol is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
