A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. Title : Security Implications of IPv6 Fragmentation with IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Author(s) : Fernando Gont Filename : draft-ietf-6man-nd-extension-headers-04.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2013-03-22 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.
