Hi guys, OpenBSD recently removed support for RFC 4620 from their kernel completely.
The default value is 3 in FreeBSD. According to the RFC: Security Considerations This protocol shares the security issues of ICMPv6 that are documented in the "Security Considerations" section of [5]. This protocol has the potential of revealing information useful to a would-be attacker. An implementation of this protocol MUST have a default configuration that refuses to answer queries from global- scope [3] addresses. I suggest that we switch to 0 by default to be more RFC compliant. Before I send the patch, I would like to get feedback. Kind regards, //Logan C-x-C-c _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
