Security Extension for OSPFv2 When Using Manual Key Management
Abstract
The current OSPFv2 cryptographic authentication mechanism as defined
in RFCs 2328 and 5709 is vulnerable to both inter-session and intra-
session replay attacks when using manual keying. Additionally, the
existing cryptographic authentication mechanism does not cover the IP
header. This omission can be exploited to carry out various types of
attacks.
This document defines changes to the authentication sequence number
mechanism that will protect OSPFv2 from both inter-session and intra-
session replay attacks when using manual keys for securing OSPFv2
protocol packets. Additionally, we also describe some changes in the
cryptographic hash computation that will eliminate attacks resulting
from OSPFv2 not protecting the IP header.

RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
1. Introduction
The OSPFv2 cryptographic authentication mechanism as described in
[RFC2328] uses per-packet sequence numbers to provide protection
against replay attacks. The sequence numbers increase monotonically
so that attempts to replay stale packets can be thwarted. The
sequence number values are maintained as a part of neighbor adjacency
state. Therefore, if an adjacency is taken down, the associated
sequence numbers get reinitialized and neighbor adjacency formation
starts over again. Additionally, the cryptographic authentication
mechanism does not specify how to deal with the rollover of a
sequence number when its value wraps. These omissions can be
exploited by attackers to implement various replay attacks
([RFC6039]). In order to address these issues, we define extensions
to the authentication sequence number mechanism.
The cryptographic authentication as described in [RFC2328] and later
updated in [RFC5709] does not include the IP header. This omission
can be exploited to launch several attacks as the source address in
the IP header is not protected. The OSPF specification, for
broadcast and NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access) networks, requires
implementations to use the source address in the IP header to
determine the neighbor from which the packet was received. Changing
the IP source address of a packet to a conflicting IP address can be
exploited to produce a number of denial-of-service attacks [RFC6039].
If the packet is interpreted as coming from a different neighbor, the
received sequence number state for that neighbor may be incorrectly
updated. This attack may disrupt communication with a legitimate
neighbor. Hello packets may be reflected to cause a neighbor to
appear to have one-way communication. Additionally, Database
Description packets may be reflected in cases where the per-packet
sequence numbers are sufficiently divergent in order to disrupt an
adjacency [RFC6863]. This is the IP-layer issue described in point
18 in Section 4 of [RFC6862].
[RFC2328] states that implementations MUST offer keyed MD5
authentication. It is likely that this will be deprecated in favor
of the stronger algorithms described in [RFC5709] and required in
[RFC6094].
This document defines a few simple changes to the cryptographic
authentication mechanism, as currently described in [RFC5709], to
prevent such IP-layer attacks.

1.1. Requirements Language
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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
When used in lowercase, these words convey their typical use in
common language, and are not to be interpreted as described in RFC
2119 [RFC2119].
2. Replay Protection Using Extended Sequence Numbers
In order to provide replay protection against both inter-session and
intra-session replay attacks, the OSPFv2 sequence number is expanded
to 64 bits with the least significant 32-bit value containing a
strictly increasing sequence number and the most significant 32-bit
value containing the boot count. OSPFv2 implementations are required
to retain the boot count in non-volatile storage for the deployment
life of the OSPF router. The requirement to preserve the boot count
is also placed on SNMP agents by the SNMPv3 security architecture
(refer to snmpEngineBoots in Section 2.2 of [RFC3414]).
Since there is no room in the OSPFv2 packet for a 64-bit sequence
number, it will occupy the 8 octets following the OSPFv2 packet and
MUST be included when calculating the OSPFv2 packet digest. These
additional 8 octets are not included in the OSPFv2 packet header
length but are included in the OSPFv2 header Authentication Data
length and the IPv4 packet header length.
The lower-order 32-bit sequence number MUST be incremented for every
OSPF packet sent by the OSPF router. Upon reception, the sequence
number MUST be greater than the sequence number in the last OSPF
packet of that type accepted from the sending OSPF neighbor.
Otherwise, the OSPF packet is considered a replayed packet and
dropped. OSPF packets of different types may arrive out of order if
they are prioritized as recommended in [RFC4222].
OSPF routers implementing this specification MUST use available
mechanisms to preserve the sequence number's strictly increasing
property for the deployed life of the OSPFv2 router (including cold
restarts). This is achieved by maintaining a boot count in non-
volatile storage and incrementing it each time the OSPF router loses
its prior sequence number state. The SNMPv3 snmpEngineBoots variable
[RFC3414] MAY be used for this purpose. However, maintaining a
separate boot count solely for OSPF sequence numbers has the
advantage of decoupling SNMP reinitialization and OSPF
reinitialization. Also, in the rare event that the lower-order
Bhatia, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
32-bit sequence number wraps, the boot count can be incremented to
preserve the strictly increasing property of the aggregate sequence
number. Hence, a separate OSPF boot count is RECOMMENDED.
3. OSPF Packet Extensions
The OSPF packet header includes an authentication type field, and 64
bits of data for use by the appropriate authentication scheme
(determined by the type field). Authentication types 0, 1, and 2 are
defined [RFC2328]. This section defines Authentication type 3.
When using this authentication scheme, the 64-bit Authentication
field (as defined in Appendix D.3 of [RFC2328]) in the OSPF packet
header (as defined in Appendix A.3.1 of [RFC2328] and [RFC6549]) is
changed as shown in Figure 1. The sequence number is removed and the
Key ID is extended to 32 bits and moved to the former position of the
sequence number.
Additionally, the 64-bit sequence number is moved to the first 64
bits following the OSPFv2 packet and is protected by the
authentication digest. These additional 64 bits or 8 octets are
included in the IP header length but not the OSPF header packet
length.
Finally, the 0 field at the start of the OSPFv2 header authentication
is extended from 16 bits to 24 bits.

4. OSPF Packet Key Selection
This section describes how this security solution selects long-lived
keys from key tables. [RFC7210]. In this context, we are selecting
the key and corresponding Security Association (SA) as defined in
Section 3.2 of [RFC5709]. Generally, a key used for OSPFv2 packet
authentication should satisfy the following requirements:
o For packet transmission, the key validity interval as defined by
SendLifetimeStart and SendLifetimeEnd must include the current
time.
o For packet reception, the key validity interval as defined by
AcceptLifetimeStart and AcceptLifetimeEnd must include the current
time.
Bhatia, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
o The key must be valid for the desired security algorithm.
In the remainder of this section, additional requirements for keys
are enumerated for different scenarios.
4.1. Key Selection for Unicast OSPF Packet Transmission
Assume that a router R1 tries to send a unicast OSPF packet from its
interface I1 to the interface I2 of a remote router R2 using security
protocol P via interface I at time T. First, consider the
circumstances where R1 and R2 are not connected with a virtual link.
R1 then needs to select a long-lived symmetric key from its key
table. Because the key should be shared by both R1 and R2 to protect
the communication between I1 and I2, the key should satisfy the
following requirements:
o The Peers field contains the area ID or, if no key containing the
area ID is present, the string "all".
o The Direction field is either "out" or "both".
o The Interfaces field matches I1 or "all".
o If multiple keys match the Interface field, keys that explicitly
match I1 should be preferred over keys matching "all". If there
are still multiple keys that match, the key with the most recent
SendLifetimeStart will be selected. This will facilitate graceful
key rollover.
o The Key ID field in the OSPFv2 header (refer to Figure 1) will be
set to the selected key's LocalKeyName.
When R1 and R2 are connected to a virtual link, the Peers field must
identify the virtual endpoint rather than the virtual link. Since
there may be virtual links to the same router, the transit area ID
must be part of the identifier. Hence, the key should satisfy the
following requirements:
o The Peers field includes both the virtual endpoint's OSPF router
ID and the transit area ID for the virtual link in the form of the
transit area ID, followed by a colon, followed by the router ID.
If no such key exists, then a key with the Peers field set to the
transit area ID is used, followed by a key with the Peers field
set to "all".
o The Interfaces field is not used for key selection on virtual
links.
Bhatia, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
o The Direction field is either "out" or "both".
o If multiple keys match the Peers field, keys that explicitly match
the router ID should be preferred, followed by keys with a transit
area specified, followed by keys with the Peers field set to
"all". If there are still multiple keys that match, the key with
the most recent SendLifetimeStart will be selected. This will
facilitate graceful key rollover.
o The Key ID field in the OSPFv2 header (refer to Figure 1) will be
set to the selected key's LocalKeyName.
4.2. Key Selection for Multicast OSPF Packet Transmission
If a router R1 sends an OSPF packet from its interface I1 to a
multicast address (i.e., AllSPFRouters or AllDRouters), it needs to
select a key according to the following requirements:
o First, try a key with the Peers field containing the area ID to
which the interface belongs. If no key exists, try a key with the
Peers field "all".
o The Interfaces field matches the interface over which the packet
is sent or "all".
o The Direction field is either "out" or "both".
o If multiple keys match the Interface field, keys that explicitly
match I1 should be preferred over keys matching "all". If there
are still multiple keys that match, the key with the most resent
SendLifetimeStart will be selected. This will facilitate graceful
key rollover.
o The Key ID field in the OSPFv2 header (refer to Figure 1) will be
set to the selected key's LocalKeyName.
4.3. Key Selection for OSPF Packet Reception
When cryptographic authentication is used, the ID of the
authentication key is included in the authentication field of the
OSPF packet header. Using this Key ID, it is straight forward for a
receiver to locate the corresponding key. The simple requirements
are:
o The interface on which the key was received is associated with the
key's interface.
Bhatia, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
o The Key ID obtained from the OSPFv2 packet header corresponds to
the neighbor's PeerKeyName. Since OSPFv2 keys are symmetric, the
LocalKeyName and PeerKeyName for OSPFv2 keys will be identical.
Hence, the Key ID will be used to select the correct local key.
o The Direction field is either "in" or "both".
o The Peers field matches as described in Sections Section 4.1 and
Section 4.2.
5. Securing the IP Header
This document updates the definition of the Apad constant, as it is
defined in [RFC5709], to include the IP source address from the IP
header of the OSPFv2 protocol packet. The overall cryptographic
authentication process defined in [RFC5709] remains unchanged. To
reduce the potential for confusion, this section minimizes the
repetition of text from RFC 5709 [RFC5709]. The changes are:
RFC 5709, Section 3.3 describes how the cryptographic authentication
must be computed. In RFC 5709, the First-Hash includes the OSPF
packet and Authentication Trailer. With this specification, the
64-bit sequence number will be included in the First-Hash along with
the Authentication Trailer and OSPF packet.
RFC 5709, Section 3.3 also requires the OSPFv2 packet's
Authentication Trailer (which is the appendage described in RFC 2328,
Appendix D.4.3, page 233, items (6)(a) and (6)(d)) to be filled with
the value Apad. Apad is a hexadecimal constant with the value
0x878FE1F3 repeated (L/4) times, where L is the length of the hash
being used and is measured in octets rather than bits.
OSPF routers sending OSPF packets must initialize the first 4 octets
of Apad to the value of the IP source address that would be used when
sending the OSPFv2 packet. The remainder of Apad will contain the
value 0x878FE1F3 repeated (L - 4)/4 times, where L is the length of
the hash, measured in octets. The basic idea is to incorporate the
IP source address from the IP header in the cryptographic
authentication computation so that any change of IP source address in
a replayed packet can be detected.
When an OSPF packet is received, implementations MUST initialize the
first 4 octets of Apad to the IP source address from the IP header of
the incoming OSPFv2 packet. The remainder of Apad will contain the
value 0x878FE1F3 repeated (L - 4)/4 times, where L is the length of
the hash, measured in octets. Besides changing the value of Apad,
this document does not introduce any other changes to the
authentication mechanism described in [RFC5709]. This would prevent
Bhatia, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
all attacks where a rogue OSPF router changes the IP source address
of an OSPFv2 packet and replays it on the same multi-access interface
or another interface since the IP source address is now included in
the cryptographic hash computation and modification would result in
the OSPFv2 packet being dropped due to an authentication failure.
6. Mitigating Cross-Protocol Attacks
In order to prevent cross-protocol replay attacks for protocols
sharing common keys, the two-octet OSPFv2 Cryptographic Protocol ID
is appended to the authentication key prior to use. Refer to the
IANA Considerations (Section 9).
[RFC5709], Section 3.3 describes the mechanism to prepare the key
used in the hash computation. This document updates the text under
"(1) PREPARATION OF KEY" as follows:
The OSPFv2 Cryptographic Protocol ID is appended to the
Authentication Key (K) yielding a Protocol-Specific Authentication
Key (Ks). In this application, Ko is always L octets long. While
[RFC2104] supports a key that is up to B octets long, this
application uses L as the Ks length consistent with [RFC4822],
[RFC5310], and [RFC5709]. According to [FIPS-198], Section 3,
keys greater than L octets do not significantly increase the
function strength. Ks is computed as follows:
If the Protocol-Specific Authentication Key (Ks) is L octets long,
then Ko is equal to Ks. If the Protocol-Specific Authentication
Key (Ks) is more than L octets long, then Ko is set to H(Ks). If
the Protocol-Specific Authentication Key (Ks) is less than L
octets long, then Ko is set to the Protocol-Specific
Authentication Key (Ks) with zeros appended to the end of the
Protocol-Specific Authentication Key (Ks) such that Ko is L octets
long.
Once the cryptographic key (Ko) used with the hash algorithm is
derived, the rest of the authentication mechanism described in
[RFC5709] remains unchanged other than one detail that was
unspecified. When XORing Ko and Ipad of Opad, Ko MUST be padded with
zeros to the length of Ipad or Opad. It is expected that
implementations of [RFC5709] perform this padding implicitly.
Bhatia, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7474 OSPF Manual Key Management April 2015
7. Backward Compatibility
This security extension uses a new authentication type, AuType in the
OSPFv2 header (refer to Figure 1). When an OSPFv2 packet is received
and the AuType doesn't match the configured authentication type for
the interface, the OSPFv2 packet will be dropped as specified in RFC
2328 [RFC2328]. This guarantees backward-compatible behavior
consistent with any other authentication type mismatch.
8. Security Considerations
This document rectifies the manual key management procedure that
currently exists within OSPFv2, as part of Phase 1 of the KARP
Working Group. Therefore, only the OSPFv2 manual key management
mechanism is considered. Any solution that takes advantage of the
automatic key management mechanism is beyond the scope of this
document.
The described sequence number extension offers most of the benefits
of more complicated mechanisms without their attendant challenges.
There are, however, a couple drawbacks to this approach. First, it
requires the OSPF implementation to be able to save its boot count in
non-volatile storage. If the non-volatile storage is ever repaired
or upgraded such that the contents are lost or the OSPFv2 router is
replaced, the authentication keys MUST be changed to prevent replay
attacks.
Second, if a router is taken out of service completely (either
intentionally or due to a persistent failure), the potential exists
for reestablishment of an OSPFv2 adjacency by replaying the entire
OSPFv2 session establishment. However, this scenario is extremely
unlikely, since it would imply an identical OSPFv2 adjacency
formation packet exchange. Without adjacency formation, the replay
of OSPFv2 hello packets alone for an OSPFv2 router that has been
taken out of service should not result in any serious attack, as the
only consequence is superfluous processing. Of course, this attack
could also be thwarted by changing the relevant manual keys.
This document also provides a solution to prevent certain denial-of-
service attacks that can be launched by changing the source address
in the IP header of an OSPFv2 protocol packet.
Using a single crypto sequence number can leave the router vulnerable
to a replay attack where it uses the same source IP address on two
different point-to-point unnumbered links. In such environments
where an attacker can actively tap the point-to-point links, it's
recommended that the user employ different keys on each of those
unnumbered IP interfaces.
