Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisement Problem Statement
Abstract
When deploying IPv6, whether IPv6-only or dual-stack, routers are
configured to send IPv6 Router Advertisements (RAs) to convey
information to nodes that enable them to autoconfigure on the
network. This information includes the implied default router
address taken from the observed source address of the RA message, as
well as on-link prefix information. However, unintended
misconfigurations by users or administrators, or possibly malicious
attacks on the network, may lead to bogus RAs being present, which in
turn can cause operational problems for hosts on the network. In
this document, we summarise the scenarios in which rogue RAs may be
observed and present a list of possible solutions to the problem. We
focus on the unintended causes of rogue RAs in the text. The goal of
this text is to be Informational, and as such to present a framework
around which solutions can be proposed and discussed.

RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 1. Introduction The Neighbor Discovery protocol [RFC4861] describes the operation of IPv6 Router Advertisements (RAs) that are used to determine node configuration information during the IPv6 autoconfiguration process, whether that node's configuration is stateful, via the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) [RFC3315] or stateless, as per [RFC4862], possibly in combination with DHCPv6 Light [RFC3736]. In observing the operation of deployed IPv6 networks, it is apparent that there is a problem with undesired or "bogus" IPv6 RAs appearing on network links or subnets. By "bogus" we mean RAs that were not the intended configured RAs, but rather RAs that have appeared for some other reason. While the problem appears more common in shared wireless environments, it is also seen on wired enterprise networks. The problem with rogue RAs is that they can cause partial or complete failure of operation of hosts on an IPv6 link. For example, the default router address is drawn directly from the source address of the RA message. In addition, rogue RAs can cause hosts to assume wrong prefixes to be used for stateless address autoconfiguration. In a case where there may be mixing of "good" and "bad" RAs, a host might keep on using the "good" default gateway, but pick a wrong source address, leading to egress filtering problems. As such, rogue RAs are an operational issue for which solution(s) are required, and for which best practice needs to be conveyed. This not only includes preventing or detecting rogue RAs, but also where necessary ensuring the network (and hosts on the network) have the ability to quickly recover from a state where host configuration is incorrect as a result of processing such an RA. In the next section, we discuss the scenarios that may give rise to rogue RAs being present. In the following section, we present some candidate solutions for the problem, some of which may be more practical to deploy than others. This document focuses on "accidental" rogue RAs; while malicious RAs are of course also possible, the common problem today lies with unintended RAs. In addition, a network experiencing malicious attack of this kind is likely to also experience malicious Neighbor Advertisement (NA) and related messages. 2. Bogus RA Scenarios There are three broad classes of scenario in which bogus RAs may be introduced to an IPv6 network. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 4]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 2.1. Administrator Misconfiguration Here an administrator incorrectly configures RAs on a router interface, causing incorrect RAs to appear on links and causing hosts to generate incorrect or unintended IPv6 address, gateway, or other information. In such a case, the default gateway may be correct, but a host might for example become multiaddressed, possibly with a correct and incorrect address based on a correct and incorrect prefix. There is also the possibility of other configuration information being misconfigured, such as the lifetime option. In the case of a Layer 2 IEEE 802.1Q Virtual LAN (VLAN) misconfiguration, RAs may "flood" to unintended links, causing hosts or more than one link to potentially become incorrectly multiaddressed, with possibly two different default routers available. 2.2. User Misconfiguration In this case, a user's device "accidentally" transmits RAs onto the local link, potentially adding an additional default gateway and associated prefix information. This seems to typically be seen on wireless (though sometimes wired) networks where a laptop has enabled the Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service, which can turn a host into a 6to4 [RFC3056] gateway; this can be a useful feature, unless of course it is run when not intended. This service can also cause IPv4 problems, as it will typically start a "rogue" DHCPv4 server on the host. We have also had reports that hosts may not see genuine IPv6 RAs on a link due to host firewalls, causing them to turn on a connection- sharing service and 6to4 as a result. In some cases, more technical users may also use a laptop as a home gateway (e.g., again a 6to4 gateway) and then connect to another network, forgetting their previous gateway configuration is still active. There are also reported incidents in enterprise networks of users physically plugging Ethernet cables into the wrong sockets and bridging two subnets together, causing a problem similar to VLAN flooding. 2.3. Malicious Misconfiguration Here an attacker is deliberately generating RAs on the local network in an attempt to perform some form of denial-of-service or man-in- the-middle attack. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 5]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 As stated above, while this is a genuine concern for network administrators, there have been few if any reports of such activity, while in contrast reports of accidental rogue RAs are very commonplace. In writing this text, and with the feedback of the v6ops working group, we came to the conclusion that the issue of malicious attack, due to the other complementary attacks that are likely to be launched using rogue NA and similar messages, are best considered by further work and document(s). As a result, this text intends to provide informational guidance for operators looking for practical measures to take to avoid "accidental" rogue RAs on their own networks. 3. Methods to Mitigate against Rogue RAs In this section, we present a summary of methods suggested to date for reducing or removing the possibility of rogue RAs being seen on a network. 3.1. Manual Configuration The default gateway and host address can usually be manually configured on a node. This of course can be a resource intensive solution, and also prone to administrative mistakes in itself. Manual configuration implies that RA processing is disabled. Most operating systems allow RA messages to be ignored, such that if an IPv6 address is manually configured on a system, an additional global autoconfigured address will not be added should an unexpected RA appear on the link. 3.2. Introducing RA Snooping It should be possible to implement "RA snooping" in Layer 2 switches in a similar way to DHCP snooping, such that RAs observed from incorrect sources are blocked or dropped, and not propagated through a subnet. One candidate solution in this space, called "RA-Guard" [RFC6105], has been proposed. This type of solution has appeal because it is a familiar model for enterprise network managers, but it can also be used to complement SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) [RFC3971], by a switch acting as a SEND proxy for hosts. This type of solution may not be applicable everywhere, e.g., in environments where there are not centrally controlled or manageable switches. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 6]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 3.3. Using ACLs on Managed Switches Certain switch platforms can already implement some level of rogue RA filtering by the administrator configuring Access Control Lists (ACLs) that block RA ICMP messages that might be inbound on "user" ports. Again this type of "solution" depends on the presence of such configurable switches. A recent document describes the RA message format(s) for filtering [IPv6-AUTOCFG-FILTER]. The document also notes requirements for DHCPv6 snooping, which can then be implemented similarly to DHCPv4 snooping. 3.4. SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) The SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) [RFC3971] protocol provides a method for hosts and routers to perform secure Neighbor Discovery. Thus, it can in principle protect a network against rogue RAs. SEND is not yet widely used at the time of writing, in part because there are very few implementations of the protocol. Some other deployment issues have been raised, though these are likely to be resolved in due course. For example, routers probably don't want to use autogenerated addresses (which might need to be protected by ACLs), so SEND needs to be shown to work with non-autogenerated addresses. Also, it has been argued that there are "bootstrapping" issues, in that hosts wanting to validate router credentials (e.g., to a certificate server or Network Time Protocol (NTP) server) are likely to need to communicate via the router for that information. Further, it's not wholly clear how widely adopted SEND could or would be in site networks with "lightweight" security (e.g., many campus networks), especially where hosts are managed by users and not administratively. Public or conference wireless networks may face similar challenges. There may also be networks, like perhaps sensor networks, where use of SEND is less practical. These networks still require rogue RA protection. While SEND clearly can provide a good, longer-term solution, especially in networks where malicious activity is a significant concern, there is a requirement today for practical solutions, and/or solutions more readily applicable in more "relaxed" environments. In the latter case, solutions like "RA snooping" or applied ACLs are more attractive now. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 7]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 3.5. Router Preference Option [RFC4191] introduced a Router Preference option, such that an RA could carry one of three Router Preference values: High, Medium (default), or Low. Thus, an administrator could use "High" settings for managed RAs, and hope that "accidental" RAs would be medium priority. This of course would only work in some scenarios -- if the user who accidentally sends out a rogue RA on the network has configured their device with "High" precedence for their own intended usage, the priorities would clash. But for accidental rogue RAs caused by software like Windows ICS and 6to4, which would use the default precedence, it could be useful. Obviously this solution would also rely on clients (and routers) having implementations of the Router Preference option. 3.6. Relying on Layer 2 Admission Control In principle, if a technology such as IEEE 802.1x is used, devices would first need to authenticate to the network before being able to send or receive IPv6 traffic. Ideally, authentication would be mutual. Deployment of 802.1x, with mutual authentication, may however be seen as somewhat "heavyweight", akin to SEND, for some deployments. Improving Layer 2 security may help to mitigate against an attacker's capability to join the network to send RAs, but it doesn't prevent misconfiguration issues. A user can happily authenticate and still launch a Windows ICS service, for example. 3.7. Using Host-Based Packet Filters In a managed environment, hosts could be configured via their "personal firewall" to only accept RAs from trusted sources. Hosts could also potentially be configured to discard 6to4-based RAs in a managed enterprise environment. However, the problem is then pushed to keeping this configuration maintained and correct. If a router fails and is replaced, possibly with a new Layer 2 interface address, the link local source address in the filter may become incorrect, and thus no method would be available to push the new information to the host over the network. 3.8. Using an "Intelligent" Deprecation Tool It is possible to run a daemon on a link (perhaps on the router on the link) to watch for incorrect RAs and to send a deprecating RA with a router lifetime of zero when such an RA is observed. The KAME rafixd is an example of such a tool, which has been used at IETF Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 8]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 meetings with some success. A slightly enhanced tool called RAMOND has since been developed from this code, and is now available as a Sourceforge project. As with host-based firewalling, the daemon would need to somehow know what "good" and "bad" RAs are, from some combination of known good sources and/or link prefixes. In an environment with native IPv6, though, 6to4-based RAs would certainly be known to be rogue. Whether or not use of such a tool is the preferred method, monitoring a link for observed RAs seems prudent from a network management perspective. Some such tools exist already, e.g., NDPMon, which can also detect other undesirable behaviour. 3.9. Using Layer 2 Partitioning If each system or user on a network is partitioned into a different Layer 2 medium, then the impact of rogue RAs can be limited. In broadband networks, bridging [RFC2684] may be available, for example. The benefit may be scenario-specific, e.g., whether a given user or customer has their own network prefix or whether the provisioning is in a shared subnet or link. It is certainly desirable that any given user or customer's system(s) are unable to see RAs that may be generated by other users or customers. However, such partitioning would probably increase address space consumption significantly if applied in enterprise networks, and in many cases, hardware costs and software licensing costs to enable routing to the edge can be quite significant. 3.10. Adding Default Gateway/Prefix Options to DHCPv6 Adding Default Gateway and Prefix options for DHCPv6 would allow network administrators to configure hosts to only use DHCPv6 for default gateway and prefix configuration in managed networks, where RAs would be required today. A new document has proposed such a default router option, along with prefix advertisement options for DHCPv6 [DHCPv6-DEFAULT-RTR]. Even with such options added to DHCPv6, an RA is in principle still required to inform hosts to use DHCPv6. An advantage of DHCPv6 is that should an error be introduced, only hosts that have refreshed their DHCP information since that time are affected, while a multicast rogue RA will most likely affect all hosts immediately. DHCPv6 also allows different answers to be given to different hosts. While making host configuration possible via DHCPv6 alone is a viable option that would allow IPv6 configuration to be done in a way similar to IPv4 today, the problem has only been shifted: rather than Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 9]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 rogue RAs being the problem, rogue DHCPv6 servers would be an equivalent issue. As with IPv4, a network would then still require use of Authenticated DHCP, or DHCP(v6) snooping, as suggested in [IPv6-AUTOCFG-FILTER]. There is certainly some demand in the community for DHCPv6-only host configuration. While this may mitigate the rogue RA issue, it simply moves the trust problem elsewhere, albeit to a place administrators are familiar with today. 4. Scenarios and Mitigations In this section, we summarise the error/misconfiguration scenarios and practical mitigation methods described above in a matrix format. We consider, for the case of a rogue multicast RA, which of the mitigation methods helps protect against administrator and user errors. For the administrator error, we discount an error in configuring the countermeasure itself; rather, we consider an administrator error to be an error in configuration elsewhere in the network. +------------------------+---------------------------+ | | Scenario | | Mitigation |---------------------------| | Method | Admin Error | User Error | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Manual configuration | Y | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | SEND | Y | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | RA snooping | Y | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Use switch ACLs | Y | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Router preference | N | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Layer 2 admission | N | N | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Host firewall | Y | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Deprecation daemon | Y | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | Layer 2 partition | N | Y | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | DHCPv6 gateway option | Partly | If Auth | +------------------------+-------------+-------------+ Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 10]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 What the above summary does not consider is the practicality of deploying the measure. An easy-to-deploy method that buys improved resilience to rogue RAs without significant administrative overhead is attractive. On that basis, the RA snooping proposal, e.g., RA-Guard, has merit, while approaches like manual configuration are less appealing. However, RA-Guard is not yet fully defined or available, while only certain managed switch equipment may support the required ACLs. 5. Other Related Considerations There are a number of related issues that have come out of discussions on the rogue RA topic, which the authors believe are worth capturing in this document. 5.1. Unicast RAs The above discussion was initially held on the assumption that rogue multicast RAs were the cause of problems on a shared network subnet. However, the specifications for Router Advertisements allow them to be sent unicast to a host, as per Section 6.2.6 of RFC 4861. If a host sending rogue RAs sends them unicast to the soliciting host, that RA may not be seen by other hosts on the shared medium, e.g., by a monitoring daemon. In most cases, though, an accidental rogue RA is likely to be multicast. 5.2. The DHCP versus RA Threat Model Comparing the threat model for rogue RAs and rogue DHCPv6 servers is an interesting exercise. In the case of Windows ICS causing rogue 6to4-based RAs to appear on a network, it is very likely that the same host is also acting as a rogue IPv4 DHCP server. The rogue DHCPv4 server can allocate a default gateway and an address to hosts, just as a rogue RA can lead hosts to learning of a new (additional) default gateway, prefix(es), and address. In the case of multicast rogue RAs, however, the impact is potentially immediate to all hosts, while the rogue DHCP server's impact will depend on lease timers for hosts. In principle, Authenticated DHCP can be used to protect against rogue DHCPv4 (and DHCPv6) servers, just as SEND could be used to protect against rogue IPv6 RAs. However, actual use of Authenticated DHCP in typical networks is currently minimal. Were new DHCPv6 default gateway and prefix options to be standardised as described above, then without Authenticated DHCP the (lack of) security is just pushed to another place. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 11]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 The RA-Guard approach is essentially using a similar model to DHCP message snooping to protect against rogue RAs in network (switch) equipment. As noted above, DHCPv6 message snooping would also be very desirable in IPv6 networks. 5.3. IPv4-Only Networks The rogue RA problem should also be considered by administrators and operators of IPv4-only networks, where IPv6 monitoring, firewalling, and other related mechanisms may not be in place. For example, a comment has been made that in the case of 6to4 being run by a host on a subnet that is not administratively configured with IPv6, some OSes or applications may begin using IPv6 to the 6to4 host (router) rather than IPv4 to the intended default IPv4 router, because they have IPv6 enabled by default and some applications prefer IPv6 by default. Technically aware users may also deliberately choose to use IPv6, possibly for subversive reasons. Mitigating against this condition can also be seen to be important. 5.4. Network Monitoring Tools It would generally be prudent for network monitoring or management platforms to be able to observe and report on observed RAs, and whether unintended RAs (possibly from unintended sources) are present on a network. Further, it may be useful for individual hosts to be able to report their address status (assuming their configuration status allowed it, of course), e.g., this could be useful during an IPv6 renumbering phased process as described in RFC 4192 [RFC4192]. The above assumes, of course, that what defines a "good" (or "bad") RA can be configured in a trustworthy manner within the network's management framework. 5.5. Recovering from Bad Configuration State After a host receives and processes a rogue RA, it may have multiple default gateways, global addresses, and potentially clashing RA options (e.g., M/O bits [RFC4861]). The host's behaviour may then be unpredictable, in terms of the default router that is used, and the (source) address(es) used in communications. A host that is aware of protocols such as Shim6 [RFC5533] may believe it is genuinely multihomed. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 12]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 An important issue is how readily a host can recover from receiving and processing bad configuration information, e.g., considering the "2 hour rule" mentioned in Section 5.5.3 of RFC 4862 (though this applies to the valid address lifetime and not the router lifetime). We should ensure that methods exist for a network administrator to correct bad configuration information on a link or subnet, and that OS platforms support these methods. At least if the problem can be detected, and corrected promptly, the impact is minimised. 5.6. Isolating the Offending Rogue RA Source In addition to issuing a deprecating RA, it would be desirable to isolate the offending source of the rogue RA from the network. It may be possible to use Network Access Control methods to quarantine the offending host, or rather the network point of attachment or port that it is using. 6. Conclusions In this text we have described scenarios via which rogue Router Advertisements (RAs) may appear on a network, and some measures that could be used to mitigate against these. We have also noted some related issues that have arisen in the rogue RA discussions. Our discussion is generally focused on the assumption that rogue RAs are appearing as a result of accidental misconfiguration on the network, by a user or administrator. While SEND perhaps offers the most robust solution, implementations and deployment guidelines are not yet widely available. SEND is very likely to be a good, longer-term solution, but many administrators are seeking solutions today. Such administrators are also often in networks with security models for which SEND is a "heavyweight" solution, e.g., campus networks, or wireless conference or public networks. For such scenarios, simpler measures are desirable. Adding new DHCPv6 Default Gateway and Prefix options would allow IPv6 host configuration by DHCP only and would be a method that IPv4 administrators are comfortable with (for better or worse), but this simply shifts the robustness issue elsewhere. While a number of the mitigations described above have their appeal, the simplest solutions probably lie in switch-based ACLs and RA-Guard-style approaches. Where managed switches are not available, use of the Router Preference option and (more so in managed desktop environments) host firewalls may be appropriate. Chown & Venaas Informational [Page 13]
RFC 6104 Rogue IPv6 Router Advertisements February 2011 In the longer term, wider experience of SEND will be beneficial, while the use of RA snooping will remain useful either to complement SEND (where a switch running RA-Guard can potentially be a SEND proxy) or to assist in scenarios for which SEND is not deployed. 7. Security Considerations This Informational document is focused on discussing solutions to operational problems caused by rogue RAs resulting from unintended misconfiguration by users or administrators. Earlier versions of this text included some analysis of rogue RAs introduced maliciously; e.g., the text included an extra column in the matrix in Section 4. However, the consensus of the v6ops working group feedback was to instead focus on the common operational problem of "accidental" rogue RAs seen today. Thus, the final version of this text does not address attacks on a network where rogue RAs are intentionally introduced as part of a broader attack, e.g., including malicious NA messages. On the wire, malicious rogue RAs will generally look the same as "accidental" ones, though they are more likely, for example, to spoof the Media Access Control (MAC) or IPv6 source address of the genuine router, or to use a "High" Router Preference option. It is also likely that malicious rogue RAs will be accompanied by other attacks on the IPv6 infrastructure, making discussion of mitigations more complex. Administrators may be able to detect such activity by the use of tools such as NDPMon. It is worth noting that the deprecation daemon could be used as part of a denial-of-service attack, should the tool be used to deprecate the genuine RA. 8.
