Opened: Jan 28, 2019 Severity: 3-Major
Special IP address handling as per RFC6890 is done correctly in the routing protocols. There is a possibility of martian addresses getting announced or allowed addresses restricted (e.g., 128.0.0.0/16 and 191.255.0.0/16). This impacts all components using dynamic routing.
Martian addresses are allowed. Non-martian addresses are blocked.
-- Network advertisements in BGP, etc., allow martian addresses and restrict allowed network-space as per RFC6890, for example, 128.0.0.0/16 and 191.255.0.0/16, 223.255.255.0/24 are blocked. -- In IPv6 loopback addressed are allowed, so ::/128 (unspec) and ::1/128 (loopback) addresses are allowed. -- Some DSlite address ranges are not handled correctly.
None.
Ensure that martian addresses like IPv6 (::/128 - unspec, ::1/128 - loopback) are not used. Note: Although 128.0.0.0/16, 191.255.0.0/16, 223.255.255.0/24 are no longer martian addresses, they still cannot be used.
