A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) Threat Analysis
Author(s) : R. Hibbs, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-v4-threat-analysis-03.txt
Pages : 20
Date : 2006-6-15
DHCPv4 (RFC 2131) is a stable, widely used protocol for
configuration of host systems in a TCP/IPv4 network. It did not
provide for authentication of clients and servers, nor did it
provide for data confidentiality. This is reflected in the original
"Security Considerations" section of RFC 2131, which identifies a
few threats and leaves development of any defenses against those
threats to future work. In about 1995, DHCP security began to
attract attention from the Internet community, eventually resulting
in the publication of RFC 3118 in 2001. Although RFC 3118 was a
mandatory prerequisite for the DHCPv4 Reconfigure Extension, RFC
3203, it has had no known usage by any commercial or private
implementation since its adoption. The DHC Working Group adopted a
work item for 2003 to review and modify or replace RFC 3118 to
afford a workable, easily deployed security mechanism for DHCPv4.
This memo provides a threat analysis of the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol for Ipv4 (DHCPv4) for use both as RFC 2131
advances from Draft Standard to Full Standard and to support our
chartered work improving the acceptance and deployment of RFC 3118.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
