This draft describes adding a TTL to MPLS LSP pings. There are no significant security considerations to this protocol addition. The Security Considerations section talks about the possibility of a DoS based on this new attribute, but also acknowledges that the the same DoS was already possible. So: no security concerns at all. --Paul Hoffman
