Network Working Group R. Droms, Ed.Request for Comments: 3646 Cisco SystemsCategory: Standards Track December 2003DNS Configuration options for Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2003). All Rights Reserved.Abstract This document describes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) options for passing a list of available DNS recursive name servers and a domain search list to a client.1. Introduction This document describes two options for passing configuration information related to Domain Name Service (DNS) (RFC 1034 [6] andRFC 1035 [1]) in DHCPv6 (RFC 3315 [2]).2. Terminology 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 inBCP 14,RFC 2119 [3]. Throughout this document, unless otherwise specified, the acronym DHCP refers to DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6) as specified inRFC 3315. This document uses terminology specific to IPv6 and DHCP as defined in section "Terminology" ofRFC 3315.Droms Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 3646 DNS Configuration Options for DHCPv6 December 20033. DNS Recursive Name Server option The DNS Recursive Name Server option provides a list of one or more IPv6 addresses of DNS recursive name servers to which a client's DNS resolver MAY send DNS queries [1]. The DNS servers are listed in the order of preference for use by the client resolver. The format of the DNS Recursive Name Server option is: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | OPTION_DNS_SERVERS | option-len | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | DNS-recursive-name-server (IPv6 address) | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | DNS-recursive-name-server (IPv6 address) | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ option-code: OPTION_DNS_SERVERS (23) option-len: Length of the list of DNS recursive name servers in octets; must be a multiple of 16 DNS-recursive-name-server: IPv6 address of DNS recursive name server4. Domain Search List option The Domain Search List option specifies the domain search list the client is to use when resolving hostnames with DNS. This option does not apply to other name resolution mechanisms.Droms Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 3646 DNS Configuration Options for DHCPv6 December 2003 The format of the Domain Search List option is: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | OPTION_DOMAIN_LIST | option-len | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | searchlist | | ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ option-code: OPTION_DOMAIN_LIST (24) option-len: Length of the 'searchlist' field in octets searchlist: The specification of the list of domain names in the Domain Search List The list of domain names in the 'searchlist' MUST be encoded as specified in section "Representation and use of domain names" ofRFC3315.5. Appearance of these options The DNS Recursive Name Server option MUST NOT appear in any other than the following messages: Solicit, Advertise, Request, Renew, Rebind, Information-Request, and Reply. The Domain Search List option MUST NOT appear in any other than the following messages: Solicit, Advertise, Request, Renew, Rebind, Information-Request, and Reply.6. Security Considerations The DNS Recursive Name Server option may be used by an intruder DHCP server to cause DHCP clients to send DNS queries to an intruder DNS recursive name server. The results of these misdirected DNS queries may be used to spoof DNS names. To avoid attacks through the DNS Recursive Name Server option, the DHCP client SHOULD require DHCP authentication (see section "Authentication of DHCP messages" inRFC 3315) before installing a list of DNS recursive name servers obtained through authenticated DHCP. The Domain Search List option may be used by an intruder DHCP server to cause DHCP clients to search through invalid domains for incompletely specified domain names. The results of theseDroms Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3646 DNS Configuration Options for DHCPv6 December 2003 misdirected searches may be used to spoof DNS names. Note that support for DNSSEC [4] will not avert this attack, because the resource records in the invalid domains may be legitimately signed. The degree to which a host is vulnerable to attack via an invalid domain search option is determined in part by DNS resolver behavior.RFC1535 [7] contains a discussion of security weaknesses related to implicit as well as explicit domain searchlists, and provides recommendations relating to resolver searchlist processing.Section6 of RFC1536 [5] also addresses this vulnerability, and recommends that resolvers: 1. Use searchlists only when explicitly specified; no implicit searchlists should be used. 2. Resolve a name that contains any dots by first trying it as an FQDN and if that fails, with the names in the searchlist appended. 3. Resolve a name containing no dots by appending with the searchlist right away, but once again, no implicit searchlists should be used. In order to minimize potential vulnerabilities it is recommended that: 1. Hosts implementing the domain search option SHOULD also implement the searchlist recommendations ofRFC1536, section 6. 2. Where DNS parameters such as the domain searchlist or DNS servers have been manually configured, these parameters SHOULD NOT be overridden by DHCP. 3. A host SHOULD require the use of DHCP authentication (see section "Authentication of DHCP messages" inRFC 3315) prior to accepting a domain search option.7. IANA Considerations IANA has assigned an option code to the DNS Recursive Name Server option (23) and to the Domain Search List option (24) from the DHCP option code space defined in section "IANA Considerations" ofRFC3315.8. Acknowledgements This option was originally part of the DHCPv6 specification, written by Jim Bound, Mike Carney, Charlie Perkins, Ted Lemon, Bernie Volz and Ralph Droms.Droms Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 3646 DNS Configuration Options for DHCPv6 December 2003 The analysis of the potential attack through the domain search list is taken from the specification of the DHCPv4 Domain Search option,RFC3397 [8].
