Hi, folks,
We have published a new IETF I-D that discusses the VPN traffic-leakage issues that was briefly discussed on this mailing-list a few weeks ago. The I-D is available at: <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages-00.txt> Any feedback will be really welcome. Thanks! Best regards, Fernando -------- Original Message -------- Subject: New Version Notification for draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages-00.txt Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 11:36:34 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] A new version of I-D, draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Fernando Gont and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages Revision: 00 Title: Virtual Private Network (VPN) traffic leakages in dual-stack hosts/ networks Creation date: 2012-10-15 WG ID: Individual Submission Number of pages: 14 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages-00.txt Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-opsec-vpn-leakages-00 Abstract: The subtle way in which the IPv6 and IPv4 protocols co-exist in typical networks, together with the lack of proper IPv6 support in popular Virtual Private Network (VPN) products, may inadvertently result in VPN traffic leaks. That is, traffic meant to be transferred over a VPN connection may leak out of such connection and be transferred in the clear on the local network. This document discusses some scenarios in which such VPN leakages may occur, either as a side effect of enabling IPv6 on a local network, or as a result of a deliberate attack from a local attacker. Additionally, it discusses possible mitigations for the aforementioned issue.
