Chris,

I am sympathetic to not wanting to get stuck waiting for a reference. I think the informative reference you cite would past muster.

Hi Sean,

I've seen that but I don't want this document to sit idle for the next
couple of years while that matures and becomes a normative and stable
reference via becoming an RFC.

I'm really thinking that putting in definitive references for transport
layer vulnerabilities is going a bit beyond what is expected of an
INFORMATIONAL document. That being said, I think it's a good idea and am
willing to pursue it within reason.

Gont's document does reference a paper by Steve Bellovin:
Bellovin, S. M. 1989. Security Problems in the TCP/IP Protocol
Suite. Computer Communication Review, Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 32-48.
That may be found here:
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=378449

What would you think about referencing that document as an INFORMATIVE
reference in the third subsection of the Security Considerations section?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Folks,

We've finally gotten around to revising draft-gerhards-syslog-plain-tcp.
: -)

This addresses the issues that Tom raised about
- the intro specifically stating what to expect in the body of the text
- a note on the transport security.

For the first, we just sort'a straightened things out with a few edits.
For the latter, I looked in many places for a list of TCP
vulnerabilities but couldn't find anything substantial. The US-CERT had
a few implementation things and there were a scattering of other things.
In the end, I just added a subsection to warn impelemters to look
closely before writing code. If anyone has any other suggestions, please
let us know.

Thanks,
Chris
