Hi Ian,

 

I will do as you suggested.

 

An updated version will be submitted soon. 

 

Thanks again

 

Yu

[Yu]: It has a description as followed :

“Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a

   MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or

   vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to

   control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly

   to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over

   the network via SNMP”

“Objects that reveal rule information of the MAP Domain: Various objects can 
reveal the

   rule information of the map domain.  A curious outsider could monitor

   these to assess the number of rules and the IPv6 prefix performed in

   this domain.  Further, an intruder could use the information to guess

   the address-sharing ratios of the ISPs.”

 

[Yu]: The objects in the list reveal the rule information and are readable. So 
they are vulnerable.

 

 

[if - OK. The current text isn’t very clear. Can I propose the following text 
as a replacement?

 

Some of the MIB model's objects are vulnerable as the information

which they hold may be used for targeting an attack against a MAP node (CE or 
BR).

E.g., an intruder could use the information to help deduce the customer IPv4 
and IPv6

topologies and address-sharing ratios in use by the ISP.

 

The following is a list of the objects that have this vulnerability:
