Title : Security Implications of IPv6 Fragmentation with IPv6
Neighbor Discovery
Author(s) : Fernando Gont
Filename : draft-ietf-6man-nd-extension-headers-05.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2013-06-02
Abstract:
This document analyzes the security implications of employing IPv6
fragmentation with Neighbor Discovery (ND) messages. It updates RFC
4861 such that use of the IPv6 Fragmentation Header is forbidden in
all Neighbor Discovery messages, thus allowing for simple and
effective counter-measures for Neighbor Discovery attacks. Finally,
it discusses the security implications of using IPv6 fragmentation
with SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND), and formally updates RFC 3971
to provide advice regarding how the aforementioned security
implications can be prevented.
