1. Requirements notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. Introduction
The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is defined in
[I-D.ietf-lisp]. The present document aims at identifying threats in
the current LISP specification. We also propose some recommendations
on mechanisms that could improve the security of LISP against off-
path attackers. This document builds upon [I-D.bagnulo-lisp-threat].
This document is split in two parts. The first discusses the LISP
data-plane and the second the LISP control-plane.
The LISP data-plane consists of LISP packet encapsulation,
decapsulation, and forwarding and includes the EID-to-RLOC Cache and
EID-to-RLOC Database data structures used to perform these
operations.
The LISP control-plane consists in the mapping distribution system,
which can be one of the mapping distribution systems proposed so far
(e.g., [I-D.ietf-lisp], [I-D.ietf-lisp-alt], [I-D.ietf-lisp-ms],
[I-D.meyer-lisp-cons], and [I-D.lear-lisp-nerd]), and the Map-
Request, Map-Reply, Map-Register messages.
This document does not consider all the possible uses of LISP as
discussed in [I-D.ietf-lisp]. In the current version, the document
focuses on LISP unicast, including as well LISP Interworking, and
briefly considers the ALT mapping system described in
[I-D.ietf-lisp-alt]. Later versions of this document will include a
deeper analysis of the ALT mapping system, as well as the analysis of
the security issues in multicast LISP ([I-D.ietf-lisp-multicast]),
interworking between LISP and the legacy IPv4 and IPv6 Internet
([I-D.ietf-lisp-interworking]), and LISP-MS ([I-D.ietf-lisp-ms]).
Furthermore, here we assume a generic IP service and do not discuss
the difference from a security viewpoint between using IPv4 or IPv6.
3. Definition of Terms
The present document does not introduce any new term, compared to the
main LISP specification. For a complete list of terms please refer
to [I-D.ietf-lisp].

Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
4. On-path Attackers
On-path attackers are attackers that are able to capture and modify
all the packets exchanged between an ITR and an ETR. To cope with
such an attacker, cryptographic techniques such as those used by
IPSec are required. We do not consider that LISP has to cope with
such attackers.
Mobile IP has also considered time-shifted attacks from on-path
attackers. A time-shifted attack is an attack where the attacker is
temporarily on the path between two communicating hosts. While it is
on-path, the attacker sends specially crafted packets or modifies
packets exchanged by the communicating hosts in order to disturb the
packet flow (e.g., by performing a man in the middle attack). An
important issue for time-shifted attacks is the duration of the
attack once the attacker has left the path between the two
communicating hosts. We do not consider time-shifted attacks in this
document.
5. Off-Path Attackers: Reference Environment
Throughout this document we consider the reference environment shown
in the figure below. There are two hosts attached to LISP routers:
HA and HB. HA is attached to the two LISP xTRs LR1 and LR2, which
are attached to two different ISPs. HB is attached to the two LISP
xTRs LR3 and LR4. HA and HB are the EIDs of the two hosts. LR1,
LR2, LR3, and LR4 are the RLOCs of the xTRs.

Figure 1: Reference Network
We consider two off-path attackers with different capabilities:
SA is an off-path attacker that is able to send spoofed packets,
i.e., packets with a different source IP address than its
assigned IP address.
NSA is an off-path attacker that is only able to send packets whose
source address is its assigned IP address.
It should be noted that with LISP, packet spoofing is slightly
different than in the current Internet. Generally the term "spoofed
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
packet" indicates a packet containing a source IP address which is
not the one of the actual originator of the packet. Since LISP uses
encapsulation, the spoofed address can be in the outer header as well
as in the inner header, this translates in two types of spoofing:
EID Spoofing: the originator of the packet puts in it a spoofed EID.
The packet will be normally encapsulated by the ITR of the
site.
RLOC Spoofing: the originator of the packet generates directly a
LISP-encapsulated packet with a spoofed source RLOC.
Note that the two types of spoofing are not mutually exclusive,
rather all combinations are possible and can be used to perform
different kind of attacks.
In our reference environment, both SA and NSA attackers are capable
of sending LISP encapsulated data packets and LISP control packets.
This means that SA is able to perform both RLOC and EID spoofing
while NSA can only perform EID spoofing. They may also send other
types of IP packets such as ICMP messages. We assume that both
attackers can query the LISP mapping system to obtain the mappings
for both HA and HB.
6. Data-Plane Threats
This section discusses threats and attacks related to the LISP data-
plane. More precisely, we discuss the operations of encapsulation,
decapsulation, and forwarding as well as the content of the EID-to-
RLOC Cache and EID-to-RLOC Database as specified in the original LISP
document ([I-D.ietf-lisp]).
We start considering the two main data structures of LISP, namely the
EID-to-RLOC Database and the EID-to-RLOC Cache. Then, we look at the
data plane attacks that can be performed by a spoofing off-path
attacker (SA) and discuss how they can be mitigated by the LISP xTRs.
In this analysis, we assume that the LR1 and LR2 (resp. LR3 and LR4)
xTRs maintain a EID-to-RLOC Cache that contains the required mapping
entries to allow HA and HB to exchange packets.
6.1. EID-to-RLOC Database Threats
The EID-to-RLOC Database on each xTR maintains the set of mappings
related to the EID-Prefixes that are "behind" the xTR. Where
"behind" means that at least one of the xTR's globally-visible IP
addresses is a RLOC for those EID-Prefixes.
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
As described in [I-D.ietf-lisp], the EID-to-RLOC Database content is
determined by configuration. This means that the only way to attack
this data structure is by gaining privileged access to the xTR. As
such, it is out of the scope of LISP to propose any mechanism to
protect routers and, hence, it is no further analyzed in this
document.
6.2. EID-to-RLOC Cache Threats
A key component of the overall LISP architecture is the EID-to-RLOC
Cache. The EID-to-RLOC Cache is the data structure that stores the
bindings between EID and RLOC (namely the "mappings") to be used
later on. Attacks against this data structure can happen either when
the mappings are first installed in the cache (see also Section 7) or
by corrupting (poisoning) the mappings already present in the cache.
6.2.1. EID-to-RLOC Cache poisoning
The content of the EID-to-RLOC Cache can be poisoned by spoofing LISP
encapsulated packets. Example of EID-to-RLOC Cache poisoning are:
Fake mapping: The cache contains entirely fake mappings that do not
originate from an authoritative mapping server. This can be
achieved either through gleaning as described in Section 7.3 or
by attacking the control-plane as described in Section 7.
EID Poisoning: The EID-Prefix in a specific mapping is not owned by
the originator of the entry. Similarly to the previous case,
this can be achieved either through gleaning as described in
Section 7.3 or by attacking the control-plane as described in
Section 7.
EID redirection/RLOC poisoning: The EID-Prefix in the mapping is not
bound to (located by) the set of RLOCs present in the mapping.
This can result in packets being redirected elsewhere,
eavesdropped, or even blackholed. Note that not necessarily
all RLOCs are fake/spoofed. The attack works also if only part
of the RLOCs, the highest priority ones, are compromised.
Again, this can be achieved either through the gleaning as
described in Section 7.3 or by attacking the control-plane as
described in Section 7.
Reachability poisoning: The reachability information stored in the
mapping could be poisoned, redirecting the packets to a subset
of the RLOCs (or even stopping it if locator status bits are
all set to 0). If reachability information is not verified
through the control-plane this attack can be simply achieved by
sending a spoofed packet with swapped or all locator status
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
bits reset. The same result can be obtained by attacking the
control-plane as described in Section 7. Depending on how the
RLOC reachability information is stored on the router, the
attack can impact only one mapping or all the mappings that
share the same RLOC.
Traffic Engineering information poisoning: The LISP protocol defines
two attributes associated to each RLOC in order to perform
inbound Traffic Engineering: namely priority and weight. By
injecting fake TE attributes, the attacker is able to break
load balancing policies and concentrate all the traffic on a
single RLOC or put more load on a RLOC than what is expected,
creating congestion. It is even possible to block the traffic
if all the priorities are set to 255. Corrupting the TE
attributes can be achieved by attacking the control-plane as
described in Section 7.
Mapping TTL poisoning: The LISP protocol associates a Time-To-Live
to each mapping that, once expired, allows to delete a mapping
from the EID-to-RLOC Cache (or forces a Map-Request/Map-Reply
exchange to refresh it if still needed). By injecting fake TTL
values, an attacker can either shrink the EID-to-RLOC Cache
(using very short TTL), thus creating an excess of cache miss
causing a DoS on the mapping system, or it can increase the
size of the cache by putting very high TTL values, up to a
cache overflow (see Section 6.2.2). Corrupting the TTL can be
achieved by attacking the control-plane as described in
Section 7. Long TTL can be use in fake mappings to increase an
attack duration.
Instance ID poisoning: The LISP protocol allows to use a 24-bit
identifier to select the forwarding table to use on the
decapsulating ETR to forward the decapsulated packet. By
spoofing this attribute the attacker is able to redirect or
blackhole inbound traffic. Corrupting the Instance ID
attribute can be achieved by attacking the control-plane as
described in Section 7.
Map-Version poisoning: The LISP protocol allows to associate a
version number to mappings ([I-D.ietf-lisp-map-versioning]).
The LISP header can transport source and destination map-
versions, describing which version of the mapping have been
used to select the source and the destination RLOCs of the LISP
encapsulated packet. By spoofing this attribute the attacker
is able to trigger Map-Request on the receiving ETR.
Corrupting the Map-Version attribute can be achieved either by
attacking the control-plane as described in Section 7 or by
using spoofed packets as described in Section 6.4.2.
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
If the above listed attacks succeed, the attacker has the means of
controlling the traffic.
6.2.2. EID-to-RLOC Cache overflow
Depending on how the EID-to-RLOC Cache is managed (e.g., LRU vs. LFU)
and depending on its size, an attacker can try to fill the cache with
fake mappings. Once the cache is full, some mappings will be
replaced by new fake ones, causing traffic disruption.
This can be achieved either through the gleaning as described in
Section 7.3 or by attacking the control-plane as described in
Section 7.
Another way to generate a EID-to-RLOC Cache overflow is by injecting
mapping with a fake and very large TTL value. In this case the cache
will keep a large amount of mappings ending with a completely full
cache. This type of attack can also be performed through the
control-plane.
6.3. Attacks not leveraging on the LISP header
We first consider an attacker that sends packets without exploiting
the LISP header, i.e., with the N, L, E, V, and I bits reset
([I-D.ietf-lisp]).
To inject a packet in the HA-HB flow, a spoofing off-path attacker
(SA) can send a LISP encapsulated packet whose source is set to LR1
or LR2 and destination LR3 or LR4. The packet will reach HB as if
the packet was sent by host HA. This is not different from today's
Internet where a spoofing off-path attacker may inject data packets
in any flow. Several existing techniques can be used by hosts to
prevent such attacks from affecting established flows, e.g.,
[RFC4301] and [I-D.ietf-tcpm-tcp-security] .
On the other hand, a non-spoofing off-path attacker (NSA) can only
send a packet whose source address is set to its assigned IP address.
The destination address of the encapsulated packet can be LR3 or LR4.
When the LISP ETR that serves HB receives the encapsulated packet, it
can consult its EID-to-RLOC Cache and verify that NSA is not a valid
source address for LISP encapsulated packets containing a packet sent
by HA. This verification is only possible if the ETR already has a
valid mapping for HA. Otherwise, and to avoid such data packet
injection attacks, the LISP ETR should reject the packet and possibly
query the mapping system to obtain a mapping for the encapsulated
source EID (HA).
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
6.4. Attacks leveraging on the LISP header
The latest LISP draft [I-D.ietf-lisp] defines several flags that
modify the interpretation of the LISP header in data packets. In
this section, we discuss how an off-path attacker could exploit this
LISP header.
6.4.1. Attacks using the Locator Status Bits
When the L bit is set to 1, it indicates that the second 32-bits
longword of the LISP header contains the Locator Status Bits. In
this field, each bit position reflects the status of one of the RLOCs
mapped to the source EID found in the encapsulated packet. In
particular, a packet with the L bit set and all Locator Status Bits
set to zero indicates that none of the locators of the encapsulated
source EID are reachable. The reaction of a LISP ETR that receives
such a packet is not clearly described in [I-D.ietf-lisp].
A spoofing off-path attacker (SA) can send a data packet with the L
bit set to 1, all Locator Status Bits set to zero, a spoofed source
RLOC (e.g. LR1), destination LR3, and containing an encapsulated
packet whose source is HA. If LR3 blindly trust the Locator Status
Bits of the received packet it will set LR1 and LR2 as unreachable,
possibly disrupting ongoing communication.
Locator Status Bits can be blindly trusted only in secure
environments. In the general unsecured Internet environment, the
safest practice for xTRs is to confirm the reachability change
through the mapping system. In the above example, LR3 should note
that something as changed in the Locator Status Bits and query the
mapping system in order to confirm status of the RLOCs of the source
EID.
A similar attack could occur by setting only one Locator Status Bit
to 1, e.g., the one that corresponds to the source RLOC of the
packet.
If a non-spoofing off-path attacker (NSA) sends a data packet with
the L bit set to 1 and all Locator Status Bits set to zero, this
packet will contain the source address of the attacker. Similarly as
in Section 6.3, if the xTR accepts the packet without checking the
EID-to-RLOC Cache for a mapping that binds the source EID and the
source RLOC of the received packet, then the same observation like
for the the spoofing attacker (SA) apply.
Otherwise, if the xTR does make the check through the EID-to-RLOC
Cache, it should reject the packet because its source address is not
one of the addresses listed as RLOCs for the source EID.
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
Nevertheless, in this case a Map-Request should be sent, which can be
used to perform Denial of Service attacks. Indeed an attacker can
frequently change the Locator Status Bits in order to trigger a large
amount of Map-Requests. Rate limitation, as described in
[I-D.ietf-lisp], does not allow to send high number of such a
request, resulting in the attacker saturating the rate with these
spoofed packets.
6.4.2. Attacks using the Map-Version bit
The Map-Version bit is used to indicate whether the low-order 24 bits
of the first 32 bits word of the LISP header contain an Source and
Destination Map-Version. When a LISP ETR receives a LISP
encapsulated packet with the Map-Version bit set to 1, the following
actions are taken:
o It compares the Destination Map-Version found in the header with
the current version of its own mapping, in the EID-to-RLOC
Database, for the destination EID found in the encapsulated
packet. If the received Destination Map-Version is smaller (i.e.,
older) than the current version, the ETR should apply the SMR
procedure described in [I-D.ietf-lisp] and send a Map-Request with
the SMR bit set.
o If a mapping exists in the EID-to-RLOC Cache for the source EID,
then it compares the Map-Version of that entry with the Source
Map-Version found in the header of the packet. If the stored
mapping is older (i.e., the Map-Version is smaller) than the
source version of the LISP encapsulated packet, the xTR should
send a Map-Request for the source EID.
A spoofing off-path attacker (SA) could use the Map-Version bit to
force an ETR to send Map-Request messages. The attacker can retrieve
the current source and destination Map-Version for both HA and HB.
Based on this information, it can send a spoofed packet with an older
Source Map-Version or Destination Map-Version. If the size of the
Map-Request message is larger than the size of the smallest LISP-
encapsulated packet that could trigger such a message, this could
lead to amplification attacks (see Section 7.1). Fortunately,
[I-D.ietf-lisp] recommends to rate limit the Map-Request messages
that are sent by an xTR. This prevents the amplification attack, but
there is a risk of Denial of Service attack if an attacker sends
packets with Source and Destination Map-Versions that frequently
change. In this case, the ETR could consume all its rate by sending
Map-Request messages in response to these spoofed packets.
A non-spoofing off-path attacker (NSA) cannot success in such an
attack if the destination xTR rejects the LISP encapsulated packets
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
that are not sent by one of the RLOCs mapped to the included source
EID. If it is not the case, the attacker can be able to perform
attacks concerning the Destination Map Version number as for the
spoofing off-path attacker (SA).
6.4.3. Attacks using the Nonce-Present and the Echo-Nonce bits
The Nonce-Present and Echo-Nonce bits are used when verifying the
reachability of a remote ETR. Assume that LR3 wants to verify that
LR1 receives the packets that it sends. LR3 can set the Echo-Nonce
and the Nonce-Present bits in LISP data encapsulated packets and
include a random nonce in these packets. Upon reception of this
packet, LR1 will store the nonce sent by LR3 and echo it when it
returns LISP encapsulated data packets to LR3.
A spoofing off-path attacker (SA) could interfere with this
reachability test by sending two different types of packets:
1. LISP data encapsulated packets with the Nonce-Present bit set and
a random nonce and the appropriate source and destination RLOCs.
2. LISP data encapsulated packets with the Nonce-Present and the
Echo-Nonce bits both set and the appropriate source and
destination RLOCs. These packets will force the receiving ETR to
store the received nonce and echo it in the LISP encapsulated
packets that it sends.
The first type of packet should not cause any major problem to ITRs.
As the reachability test uses a 24 bits nonce, it is unlikely that an
off-path attacker could send a packet that causes an ITR to believe
that the ETR it is testing is reachable while in reality it is not
reachable.
The second type of packet could be exploited to create a Denial of
Service attack against the nonce-based reachability test. Consider a
spoofing off-path attacker (SA) that sends a continuous flow of
spoofed LISP data encapsulated packets that contain the Nonce-Present
and the Echo-Nonce bit and each packet contains a different random
nonce. The ETR that receives such packets will continuously change
the nonce that it returns to the remote ITR. If the remote ITR
starts a nonce-reachability test, this test may fail because the ETR
has received a spoofed LISP data encapsulated packet with a different
random nonce and never echoes the real nonce. In this case the ITR
will consider the ETR not reachable. The success of this test will
of course depend on the ratio between the amount of packets sent by
the legitimate ITR and the spoofing off-path attacker (SA).
Packets sent by a non-spoofing off-path attacker (NSA) can cause
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
similar problem if no check is done with the EID-to-RLOC Cache (see
Section 6.3 for the EID-to-RLOC Cache check). Otherwise, if the
check is performed the packets will be rejected by the ETR that
receives them and cannot cause problems.
7. Control Plane Threats
In this section, we discuss the different types of attacks that can
occur when an off-path attacker sends control plane packets. We
focus on the packets that are sent directly to the ETR and do not
analyze the particularities of a LISP mapping system. The ALT
mapping system is discussed in Section 10.
7.1. Attacks with Map-Request messages
An off-path attacker could send Map-Request packets to a victim ETR.
In theory, a Map-Request packet is only used to solicit an answer and
as such it should not lead to security problems. However, the LISP
specification [I-D.ietf-lisp] contains several particularities that
could be exploited by an off-path attacker.
The first possible exploitation is the P bit. The P bit is used to
probe the reachability of remote ETRs in the control plane. In our
reference environment, LR3 could probe the reachability of LR1 by
sending a Map-Request with the P bit set. LR1 would reply by sending
a Map-Reply message with the P bit set and the same nonce as in the
Map-Request message.
A spoofing off-path attacker (SA) could use the P bit to force a
victim ETR to send a Map-Reply to the spoofed source address of the
Map-Request message. As the Map-Reply can be larger than the Map-
Request message, there is a risk of amplification attack.
Considering only IPv6 addresses, a Map-Request can be as small as 40
bytes, considering one single ITR address and no Mapping Protocol
Data. The Map-Reply instead has a size of O(12 + (R * (28 + N *
24))) bytes, where N is the maximum number of RLOCs in a mapping and
R the maximum number of records in a Map-Reply. Since up to 255
RLOCs can be associated to an EID-Prefix and 255 records can be
stored in a Map-Reply, the maximum size of a Map-Reply is thus above
1 MB showing a size factor of up to 39,193 between the message sent
by the attacker and the message sent by the ETR. These numbers are
however theoretical values not considering transport layer
limitations and it is more likely that the reply will contain only on
record with at most a dozen of locators, giving an amplification
factor around 8.
Any ISP with a large number of potential RLOCs for a given EID-Prefix
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
should carefully ponder the best trade-off between the number of
RLOCs through which it wants that the EID is reachable and the
consequences that an amplification attack can produce.
It should be noted that the maximum rate of Map-Reply messages should
apply to all Map-Replies and also be associated to each destination
that receives Map-Reply messages. Otherwise, a possible
amplification attack could be launched by a spoofing off-path
attacker (SA) as follows. Consider an attacker SA and and EID-Prefix
p/P and a victim ITR. To amplify a Denial of Service attack against
the victim ITR, SA could send spoofed Map-Request messages whose
source EID addresses are all the addresses inside p/P and source RLOC
address is the victim ITR. Upon reception of these Map-Request
messages, the ETR would send large Map-Reply messages for each of the
addresses inside p/P back to the victim ITR.
If a non-spoofing off-path attacker (NSA) sends a Map-Request with
the P bit set, it will receive a Map-Reply with the P bit set. This
does not raise security issues besides the usual risk of overloading
a victim ETR by sending too many Map-Request messages.
The Map-Request message may also contain the SMR bit. Upon reception
of a Map-Request message with the SMR bit, an ETR must return to the
source of the Map-Request message a Map-Request message to retrieve
the corresponding mapping. This raises similar problems as the P bit
discussed above except that as the Map-Request messages are smaller
than Map-Reply messages, the risk of amplification attacks is
reduced. This is not true anymore if the ETR append to the Map-
Request messages its own Map-Records. This mechanism is meant to
reduce the delay in mapping distribution since mapping information is
provided in the Map-Request message.
Furthermore, appending Map-Records to Map-Request messages represents
a major security risk since an off-path attacker could generate a
(spoofed or not) Map-Request message and include in the Map-Reply
portion of the message mapping for EID prefixes that it does not
serve. This could lead to various types of redirection and denial of
service attacks. An xTR should not process the Map-Records
information that it receives in a Map-Request message.
7.2. Attacks with Map-Reply messages
In this section we analyze the attacks that could occur when an off-
path attacker sends directly Map-Reply messages to ETRs without using
one of the proposed LISP mapping systems.
There are two different types of Map-Reply messages:
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
Positive Map-Reply: This messages contain a Map-Record binding an
EID-Prefix to one or more RLOCs.
Negative Map-Reply: This messages contain a Map-Record for an EID-
Prefix with an empty locator-set and specifying an action,
which may be either Drop, Natively forward, or Send Map-
Request.
Positive Map-Reply messages are used to map EID-Prefixes onto RLOCs.
Negative Map-Reply messages are used to support PTR and interconnect
the LISP Internet with the legacy Internet.
Most of the security of the Map-Reply messages depend on the 64 bits
nonce that is included in a Map-Request and returned in the Map-
Reply. An ETR must never accept a Map-Request message whose nonce
does not match one of the pending Map-Request messages. If an ETR
does not accept Map-Reply messages with an invalid nonce, the risk of
attack is very small given the size of the nonce (64 bits).
Note, however, that the nonce only confirms that the Map-Reply was
sent by the ETR that received the Map-Request. It does not validate
the content of the Map-Reply message.
7.3. Gleaning Attacks
A third type of attack involves the gleaning mechanism proposed in
[I-D.ietf-lisp] and discussed in [Saucez09]. In order to reduce the
time required to obtain a mapping, [I-D.ietf-lisp] allows an ITR to
learn a mapping from the LISP data encapsulated packets and the Map-
Request packets that it receives. LISP data encapsulated packet
contains a source RLOC, destination RLOC, source EID and destination
EID. When a ITR receives a data encapsulated packet coming from a
source EID for which it does not already know a mapping, it may
insert the mapping between the source RLOC and the source EID in its
EID-to-RLOC Cache. Gleaning can also be used when an ITR receives a
Map-Request as the Map-Request also contains a source EID address and
a source RLOC. Once a gleaned entry has been added to the cache, the
LISP ITR sends a Map-Request to retrieve the mapping for the gleaned
EID from the mapping system. [I-D.ietf-lisp] recommends to store the
gleaned entries for only a few seconds.
The first risk of gleaning is the ability to temporarily hijack an
identity. Consider an off-path attacker that wants to temporarily
hijack host HA's identity and send packets to host HB with host HA's
identity. If the xTRs that serve host HB do not store a mapping for
host HA, a non-spoofing off-path attacker (NSA) could send a LISP
encapsulated data packet to LR3 or LR4. The ETR will store the
gleaned entry and use it to return the packets sent by host HB to the
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
attacker. In parallel, the ETR will send a Map-Request to retrieve
the mapping for HA. During a few seconds or until the reception of
the Map-Reply, host HB will exchange packets with the attacker that
has hijacked HA's identity. Note that the attacker could in parallel
send lots of Map-Requests or lots of LISP data encapsulated packets
with random sources to force the xTR that is responsible for host HA
to send lots of Map-Request messages in order to force it to exceed
its rate limit for control plane messages. This could further delay
the arrival of the Map-Reply message on the requesting ETR.
Gleaning also introduces the possibility of a man-in-the-middle
attack. Consider an off-path attacker that knows that hosts HA and
HB that reside in different sites will exchange information at time
t. An off-path attacker could use this knowledge to launch a man-in-
the-middle attack if the xTRs that serve the two hosts do not have
mapping for the other EID. For this, the attacker sends to LR1
(resp. LR3) a LISP data encapsulated packet whose source RLOC is its
IP address and contains an IP packet whose source is set to HB (resp.
HA). The attacker chooses a packet that will not trigger an answer,
for example the last part of a fragmented packet. Upon reception of
these packets, LR1 and LR3 install gleaned entries that point to the
attacker. As explained above, the attacker could, at the same time,
send lots of packets to LR1 and LR3 to force them to exhaust their
control plane rate limit. This will extend the duration of the
gleaned entry. If host HA establishes a flow with host HB at that
time, the packets that they exchange will first pass through the
attacker.
In both cases, the attack only lasts for a few seconds (unless the
attacker is able to exhaust the rate limitation). However it should
be noted that today a large amount of packets may be exchanged during
even a small fraction of time.
8. Threats concerning Interworking
[I-D.ietf-lisp-interworking] defines two network elements to allow
LISP and non-LISP sites to communicate, namely the Proxy-ITR and the
Proxy-ETR. The Proxy-ITR encapsulates traffic from non-LISP sites in
order to forward it toward LISP sites, while the Proxy-ETR
decapsulates traffic arriving from LISP sites in order to forward it
toward non-LISP sites. For these elements some of the attack based
on the LISP specific header are not possible, for the simple reason
that some of the fields cannot be used due to the unidirectional
nature of the traffic.
The Proxy-ITR has functionalities similar to the ITR, however, its
main purpose is to encapsulate packets arriving from the DFZ in order
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
to reach LISP sites. This means that it is no bound to any
particular EID-Prefix, hence no mapping exists and no mapping can be
configured in the EID-to-RLOC Database. This means that the Proxy-
ITR element itself is not able, to check whether or not the arriving
traffic has the right to be encapsulated or not. To limit such an
issue it is recommended to use the current practice based on
firewalls and ACLs on the machine running the Proxy-ITR service. On
the other side, the Proxy-ITR is meant to encapsulate only packets
that are destined to one of the LISP sites it is serving. This is
the case for instance for a service provider selling Proxy-ITR
services. For this purpose a static EID-to-RLOC Cache can be
configured in order to encapsulate only valid packets. In case of a
cache-miss no Map-Request needs to be sent and the packet can be
silently dropped.
The Proxy-ETR has functionalities similar to the ETR, however, its
main purpose is to inject un-encapsulated packet in the DFZ in order
to reach non-LISP-Sites. This means that since there is no specific
EID-Prefix downstream, it has no EID-to-RLOC Database that can be
used to check whether or not the destination EID is part of its
domain. In order to avoid for the Proxy-ETR to be used as relay in a
DoS attack it is preferable to configure the EID-to-RLOC Cache with
static entries used to check if an encapsulated packet coming from a
specific RLOC and having a specific source EID is actually allowed to
transit through the Proxy-ETR. This is also important for services
provider selling Proxy-ETR service to actually process only packets
arriving from its customers. However, in case of cache-miss no Map-
Request needs to be sent, rather the packet can be silently dropped
since it is not originating from a valid site. The same drop policy
should be used for packets with an invalid source RLOC or a valid
source RLOC but an invalid EID.
9. Threats with Malicious xTRs
In this section, we discuss the threats that could be caused by
malicious xTRs. We consider the reference environment below where
EL1 is a malicious or compromised xTR. This malicious xTR serves a
set of hosts that includes HC. The other xTR and hosts in this
network play the same role as in the reference environment described
in Section 5.

Figure 2: Malicious xTRs' Reference Environment
Malicious xTRs are probably the most serious threat to the LISP
control plane from a security viewpoint. To understand the problem,
let us consider the following scenario. Host HC and HB exchange
packets with host HA. As all these hosts reside in LISP sites, LR1
and LR2 store mappings for HB and HC. Thus, these xTRs may need to
exchange LISP control plane packets with EL1, e.g., to perform
reachability tests or to refresh expired mappings (e.g., if HC's
mapping has a small TTL).
A first threat against the LISP control plane is when EL1 replies to
a legitimate Map-Request message sent by LR1 or LR2 with a Map-Reply
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
message that contains an EID-Prefix that is larger than the prefix
owned by the site attached to EL1. This could allow EL1 to attract
packets destined to other EIDs than the EIDs that are attached to
EL1.
Another possible attack is a Denial of Service attack by sending a
Negative Map-Reply message for a coarser prefix without any locator
and with the Drop action. Such a Negative Map-Reply indicates that
the ETR that receives it should discard all packets. The current
LISP specification briefly discusses this problem [I-D.ietf-lisp],
but the proposed solutions does not solve the problem.
Another concern with malicious xTRs is the possibility of Denial of
Service attacks. A first attack is the flooding attack that was
described in [I-D.bagnulo-lisp-threat]. This attack allows a
malicious xTR to redirect traffic to a victim. The malicious xTR
first defines a mapping for HC with two RLOCs: its own RLOC (EL1) and
the RLOC of the victim (e.g., LR3). The victim's RLOC is set as
unreachable in the mapping. HC starts a large download from host HA.
Once the download starts, the malicious xTR updates its Locator
Status Bits, changes the mapping's version number or sets the SMR bit
such that LR1 updates its EID-to-RLOC Cache to send all packets
destined to HC to the victim's RLOC. Instead of downloading from HA,
the attacker could also send packets that trigger a response (e.g.,
ICMP, TCP SYN, DNS request, ...) to HA. HA would then send its
response and its xTR would forward it to the victim's RLOC.
An important point to note about this flooding attack is that it
reveals a potential problem in the LISP architecture. A LISP ITR
relies on the received mapping and possible reachability information
to select the RLOC of the ETR that it uses to reach a given EID or
block of EIDs. However, if the ITR made a mistake, e.g., due to
configuration, implementation or other types of errors and has chosen
a RLOC that does not serve the destination EID, there is no easy way
for the LISP ETR to inform the ITR of its mistake. A possible
solution could be to force a ETR to perform a reachability test with
the selected ITR as soon as it selects it. This will be analyzed in
the next version of this document.
10. Security of the ALT Mapping System
One of the assumptions in [I-D.ietf-lisp] is that the mapping system
is more secure than sending Map-Request and Map-Reply messages
directly. We analyze this assumption in this section by analyzing
the security of the ALT mapping system.
The ALT mapping system is basically a manually configured overlay of
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
GRE tunnels between ALT routers. BGP sessions are established
between ALT routers that are connected through such a tunnel. An ALT
router advertises the EID prefixes that it serves over its BGP
sessions with neighboring ALT routers and the EID-Prefixes that it
has learned from neighboring ALT routers.
The ALT mapping system is in fact a discovery system that allows any
ALT router to discover the ALT router that is responsible for a given
EID-Prefix. To obtain a mapping from the ALT system, an ITR sends a
packet containing a Map-Request on the overlay. This Map-Request is
sent inside a packet whose destination is the requested EID. The
Map-Request is routed on the overlay until it reaches the ALT router
that advertised initially the prefix that contains the requested EID.
This ALT router then replies directly by sending a Map-Reply to the
RLOC of the requesting ITR.
The security of the ALT mapping system depends on many factors,
including:
o The security of the intermediate ALT routers.
o The validity of the BGP advertisements sent on the ALT overlay.
Unfortunately, experience with BGP on the global Internet has shown
that BGP is subject to various types of misconfiguration problems and
security attacks. The SIDR working group is developing a more secure
inter-domain routing architecture to solve this problem
([I-D.ietf-sidr-arch]).
The security of the intermediate ALT routers is another concern. A
malicious intermediate ALT router could manipulate the received BGP
advertisements and also answer to received Map-Requests without
forwarding them to their final destination on the overlay. This
could lead to various types of redirection attacks. Note that in
contrast with a regular IP router that could also manipulate in
transit packets, when a malicious or compromised ALT router replies
to a Map-Request, it can redirect legitimate traffic for a long
period of time by sending an invalid Map-Reply message. Thus, the
impact of a malicious ALT router could be much more severe than a
malicious router in today's Internet.
11. Suggested Recommendations
To mitigate the impact of attacks against LISP, the following
recommendations should be followed.
First, the use of some form of filtering can help in avoid or at
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
least mitigate some types of attacks.
o On ETRs, packets should be decapsulated only if the destination
EID is effectively part of the EID-Prefix downstream the ETR.
Further, still on ETRs, packets should be decapsulated only if a
mapping for the source EID is present in the EID-to-RLOC Cache and
has been obtained through the mapping system (not gleaned).
o On ITRs, packets should be encapsulated only if the source EID is
effectively part of the EID-Prefix downstream the ITR. Further,
still on ITRs, packets should be encapsulated only if a mapping
obtained from the mapping system is present in the EID-to-RLOC
Cache (no Data-Probing).
Note that this filtering, since complete mappings need to be
installed in both ITRs and ETRs, can introduce a higher connection
setup latency and hence potentially more packets drops due to the
lack of mappings in the EID-to-RLOC Cache.
While the gleaning mechanism allows to start encapsulating packets to
a certain EID in parallel with the Map-Request to obtain a mapping
when a new flow is established, it creates important security risks
since it allows attackers to perform identity hijacks. Although the
duration of these identity hijacks is limited (except the case of
rate limitation exhaustion), their impact can be severe. A first
option would be to disable gleaning until the security concerns are
solved. A second option would be to strictly limit the number of
packets that can be forwarded via a gleaned entry. Overall the
benefits of gleaning, i.e., avoiding the loss of the first packet of
a flow, seems very small compared to the associated security risks.
Furthermore, measurements performed in data centers show that today's
Internet often operate with packet loss ratio of 1 or 2 percentage
([Chu]). These packet loss ratio are probably already orders of
magnitude larger than the improvement provided by the gleaning
mechanism.
With the increasing deployment of spoofing prevention techniques such
as [RFC3704] or SAVI [SAVI], it can be expected that attackers will
become less capable of sending packets with a spoofed source address.
To prevent packet injection attacks from non-spoofing attackers
(NSA), ETRs should always verify that the source RLOC of each
received LISP data encapsulated packet corresponds to one of the
RLOCs listed in the mappings for the source EID found in the inner
packet. An alternative could be to use existing IPSec techniques
[RFC4301]and when necessary including perhaps [RFC5386] to establish
an authenticated tunnel between the ITR and the ETR.
[I-D.ietf-lisp] recommends to rate limit the control messages that
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
are sent by a xTR. This limit is important to deal with denial of
service attacks. However, a strict limit, e.g., implemented with a
token bucket, on all the Map-Request and Map-Reply messages sent by a
xTR is not sufficient. A xTR should distinguish between different
types of control plane packets:
1. The Map-Request messages that it sends to refresh expired mapping
information.
2. The Map-Request messages that it sends to obtain mapping
information because one of the served hosts tried to contact an
external EID.
3. The Map-Request messages that it sends as reachability probes.
4. The Map-Reply messages that it sends as response to reachability
probes.
5. The Map-Request messages that it sends to support gleaning.
These control plane messages are used for different purposes. Fixing
a global rate limit for all control plane messages increases the risk
of Denial of Service attacks if a single type of control plane
message can exceed the configured limit. This risk could be
mitigated by either specifying a rate for each of the five types of
control plane messages. Another option could be to define a maximum
rate for all control plane messages, and prioritize the control plane
messages according to the list above (with the highest priority for
message type 1).
In [I-D.ietf-lisp], there is no mechanism that allows a xTR to verify
the validity of the content a Map-Reply message that it receives.
Besides the attacks discussed earlier in the document, a time-shifted
attack where an attacker is able to modify the content of a Map-Reply
message but then needs to move off-path could also create redirection
attacks. The nonce only allows a xTR to verify that a Map-Reply
responds to a previously sent Map-Request message. The LISP Working
Group should explore solutions that allow to verify the validity and
integrity of bindings between EID-Prefixes and their RLOCS (e.g.,
[I-D.saucez-lisp-mapping-security] and [I-D.maino-lisp-sec]). Having
such kind of mechanism would allow ITRs to ignore non-verified
mappings, thus increasing security.
LISP Working Group should consider developing secure mechanisms to
allow an ETR to indicate to an ITR that it does not serve a
particular EID or block of EIDs in order to mitigate the flooding
attacks.
Saucez, et al. Expires September 13, 2011 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft LISP Security March 2011
Finally, there is also the risk of Denial of Service attack against
the EID-to-RLOC Cache. We have discussed these attacks when
considering external attackers with, e.g., the gleaning mechanism and
in Section 6.2. If an ITR has a limited EID-to-RLOC Cache, a
malicious or compromised host residing in the site that it serves
could generate packets to random destinations to force the ITR to
issue a large number of Map-Requests whose answers could fill its
cache. Faced with such misbehaving hosts, LISP ITR should be able to
limit the percent of Map-Requests that it sends for a given source
EID.
12. Document Status and Plans
In this document, we have analyzed some of the security threats that
affect the Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP). We have
focused our analysis on unicast traffic and considered both the LISP
data and control planes, and provided some recommendations to improve
the security of LISP.
Revisions of this document will document the security threats of
other parts of the LISP architecture, including but not limited to:
o Instance ID attribute.
o LISP Multicast.
o LISP Map-Server.
13. IANA Considerations
This document makes no request to IANA.
14. Security Considerations
Security considerations are the core of this document and do not need
to be further discussed in this section.
