	Title		: Flaws in RIPv2 packet's authentication
	Author(s)	: J. Etienne
	Filename	: draft-etienne-ripv2-auth-flaws-00.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 01-May-01
	
The current strongest authentication method for RIPv2 (RFC2453[6])
is the MD5 authentication (RFC2082[5]) which uses shared secret key
to authenticate the packets. This memo explains the different
security flaws we found in the anti-replay and the MACs calculation.
The second part presents practical exploitations of these
weaknesses: an attacker directly connected to a link, can (i)  
break neighborhood, (ii)  flap routes and (iii) inject obsolete
routes.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
