RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20081.  Introduction   The RSerPool architecture [RFC5351] supports high-availability and   load balancing by enabling a pool user to identify the most   appropriate server from the server pool at a given time.  The   architecture is defined to support a set of basic goals.  These   include application-independent protocol mechanisms, separation of   server naming from IP addressing, the use of the end-to-end principle   to avoid dependencies on intermediate equipment, separation of   session availability/failover functionality from the application   itself, the ability to facilitate different server selection   policies, the ability to facilitate a set of application-independent   failover capabilities, and a peer-to-peer structure.   RSerPool provides a session layer for robustness.  The session layer   function may redirect communication transparently to upper layers.   This alters the direct one-to-one association between communicating   endpoints that typically exists between clients and servers.  In   particular, secure operation of protocols often relies on assumptions   at different layers regarding the identity of the communicating party   and the continuity of the communication between endpoints.  Further,   the operation of RSerPool itself has security implications and risks.   The session layer operates dynamically, which imposes additional   concerns for the overall security of the end-to-end application.   This document explores the security implications of RSerPool, both   due to its own functions and due to its being interposed between   applications and transport interfaces.   This document is related to the RSerPool Aggregate Server Access   Protocol (ASAP) [RFC5352] and Endpoint Name Resolution Protocol   (ENRP) [RFC5353] documents, which describe, in their Security   Consideration sections, the mechanisms for meeting the security   requirements in this document.  TLS [RFC5246] is the security   mechanism for RSerPool that was selected to meet all the requirements   described in this document.  The Security Considerations sections of   ASAP and ENRP describe how TLS is actually used to provide the   security that is discussed in this document.1.1.  Definitions   This document uses the following terms:   Endpoint Name Resolution Protocol (ENRP):      Within the operational scope of RSerPool, ENRP[RFC5353] defines      the procedures and message formats of a distributed fault-tolerant      registry service for storing, bookkeeping, retrieving, and      distributing pool operation and membership information.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 2008   Aggregate Server Access Protocol (ASAP):      ASAP [RFC5352] is a session layer protocol that uses ENRP to      provide a high-availability handlespace.  ASAP is responsible for      the abstraction of the underlying transport technologies, load      distribution management, fault management, as well as the      presentation to the upper layer (i.e., the ASAP User) of a unified      primitive interface.   Operational scope:      The part of the network visible to pool users by a specific      instance of the Reliable Server Pooling protocols.   Pool (or server pool):      A collection of servers providing the same application      functionality.   Pool handle:      A logical pointer to a pool.  Each server pool will be      identifiable in the operational scope of the system by a unique      pool handle.   ENRP handlespace (or handlespace):      A cohesive structure of pool names and relations that may be      queried by a client.  A client in this context is an application      that accesses another remote application running on a server using      a network.   Pool element (PE):  A server entity having registered to a pool.   Pool user (PU):  A server pool user.1.2.  Conventions   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.  Threats2.1.  PE Registration/De-Registration Flooding -- Non-Existent PE2.1.1.  Threat   A malicious node could send a stream of false registrations/de-   registrations on behalf of non-existent PEs to ENRP servers at a very   rapid rate and thereby create unnecessary state in an ENRP server.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.1.2.  Effect   The malicious node will corrupt the pool registrar database and/or   disable the RSerPool discovery and database function.  This   represents a denial-of-service attack, as the PU would potentially   get an IP address of a non-existent PE in response to an ENRP query.2.1.3.  Requirement   An ENRP server that receives a registration/de-registration MUST NOT   create or update state information until it has authenticated the PE.   TLS with a pre-shared-key (PSK) is mandatory to implement as the   authentication mechanism.  For PSK, having a pre-shared-key   constitutes authorization.  The network administrators of a pool need   to decide which nodes are authorized to participate in the pool.  The   justification for PSK is that we assume that one administrative   domain will control and manage the server pool.  This allows for PSK   to be implemented and managed by a central security administrator.2.2.  PE Registration/De-Registration Flooding -- Unauthorized PE2.2.1.  Threat   A malicious node or PE could send a stream of registrations/de-   registrations that are unauthorized to register/de-register to ENRP   servers at a very rapid rate and thereby create unnecessary state in   an ENRP server.2.2.2.  Effect   This attack will corrupt the pool registrar database and/or disable   the RSerPool discovery and database function.  There is the potential   for two types of attacks: denial of service and data interception.   In the denial-of-service attack, the PU gets an IP address of a rogue   PE in response to an ENRP query, which might not provide the actual   service.  In addition, a flood of message could prevent legitimate   PEs from registering.  In the data interception attack, the rogue PE   does provide the service as a man in the middle (MITM), which allows   the attacker to collect data.2.2.3.  Requirement   An ENRP server that receives a registration/de-registration MUST NOT   create or update state information until the authentication   information of the registering/de-registering entity is verified.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 5]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 2008   TLS is used as the authentication mechanism between the ENRP server   and PE.  TLS with PSK is mandatory to implement as the authentication   mechanism.  For PSK, having a pre-shared-key constitutes   authorization.  The network administrators of a pool need to decide   which nodes are authorized to participate in the pool.2.3.  PE Registration/De-Registration Spoofing2.3.1.  Threat   A malicious node could send false registrations/de-registrations to   ENRP servers concerning a legitimate PE, thereby creating false state   information in the ENRP servers.2.3.2.  Effect   This would generate misinformation in the ENRP server concerning a PE   and would be propagated to other ENRP servers, thereby corrupting the   ENRP database.  Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) could result: if   a PE that is a target for a DDoS attack for some popular high-volume   service, then the attacker can register a PE to which a lot of PUs   will try to connect.  This allows man-in-the-middle or masquerade   attacks on the service provided by the legitimate PEs.  If an   attacker registers its server address as a PE and handles the   requests, he can eavesdrop on service data.2.3.3.  Requirement   An ENRP server that receives a registration/de-registration MUST NOT   create or update state information until it has authenticated the PE.   TLS is used as the authentication mechanism between the ENRP server   and the PE.  TLS with PSK is mandatory to implement as the   authentication mechanism.  For PSK, having a pre-shared-key   constitutes authorization.  The network administrators of a pool need   to decide which nodes are authorized to participate in the pool.  A   PE can register only for itself and cannot register on behalf of   other PEs.2.4.  PE Registration/De-Registration Unauthorized2.4.1.  Threat   A PE that is not authorized to join a pool could send registrations/   de-registrations to ENRP servers, thereby creating false state   information in the ENRP servers.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 6]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.4.2.  Effect   This attack would generate misinformation in the ENRP server   concerning a PE and would be propagated to other ENRP servers thereby   corrupting the ENRP database.  This allows man-in-the-middle or   masquerade attacks on the service provided by the legitimate PEs.  If   an attacker registers its server address as a PE and handles the   requests, he can eavesdrop on service data.2.4.3.  Requirement   An ENRP server that receives a registration/de-registration MUST NOT   create or update state information until it has authorized the   requesting entity.  TLS is used as the authentication mechanism.  TLS   with PSK is mandatory to implement as the authentication mechanism.   For PSK, having a pre-shared-key constitutes authorization.  The   network administrators of a pool need to decide which nodes are   authorized to participate in the pool.2.5.  Malicious ENRP Server Joins the Group of Legitimate ENRP Servers2.5.1.  Threat   A malicious ENRP server joins the group of legitimate ENRP servers   with the intent of propagating inaccurate updates to corrupt the ENRP   database.  The attacker sets up an ENRP server and attempts to   communicate with other ENRP servers.2.5.2.  Effect   The result would be Inconsistent ENRP database state.2.5.3.  Requirement   ENRP servers MUST perform mutual authentication.  This would prevent   the attacker from joining its ENRP server to the pool.  TLS is used   as the mutual authentication mechanism.  TLS with PSK is mandatory to   implement as the authentication mechanism.  For PSK, having a   pre-shared-key constitutes authorization.  The network administrators   of a pool need to decide which nodes are authorized to participate in   the pool.2.6.  Registration/De-Registration with Malicious ENRP Server2.6.1.  Threat   A PE unknowingly registers/de-registers with a malicious ENRP server.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 7]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.6.2.  Effect   The registration might not be properly processed or it might be   ignored.  A rogue ENRP server has the ability to return any address   to a user requesting service; this ability could result in denial of   service or connection to a rogue PE that is the attacker's choice for   service.2.6.3.  Requirement   The PE MUST authenticate the ENRP server.  TLS is the mechanism used   for the authentication.  TLS with PSK is mandatory to implement as   the authentication mechanism.  For PSK, having a pre-shared-key   constitutes authorization.  The network administrators of a pool need   to decide which nodes are authorized to participate in the pool.   This requirement prevents malicious outsiders and insiders from   adding their own ENRP server to the pool.2.7.  Malicious ENRP Handlespace Resolution2.7.1.  Threat   The ASAP protocol receives a handlespace resolution response from an   ENRP server, but the ENRP server is malicious and returns random IP   addresses or an inaccurate list in response to the pool handle.2.7.2.  Effect   The PU application communicates with the wrong PE or is unable to   locate the PE since the response is incorrect in saying that a PE   with that handle did not exist.  A rogue ENRP server has the ability   to return any address to ASAP requesting an address list that could   result in denial of service or connection to a rogue PE of the   attacker's choice for service.  From the PE, the attacker could   eavesdrop or tamper with the application.2.7.3.  Requirement   ASAP SHOULD authenticate the ENRP server.  TLS with certificates is   the mandatory-to-implement mechanism used for authentication.  The   administrator uses a centralized Certificate Authority (CA) to   generate and sign certificates.  The certificate is stored on the   ENRP server.  A CA trusted root certification authority certificate   is sent to the client out of band, and the certificate signature on   the ENRP server certificate is checked for validity during the TLS   handshake.  This authentication prevents malicious outsiders and   insiders from adding an ENRP server to the pool that may be accessed   by ASAP.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 8]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.8.  Malicious Node Performs a Replay Attack2.8.1.  Threat   A malicious node could replay the entire message previously sent by a   legitimate entity.  This could create false/unnecessary state in the   ENRP servers when the replay is for registration/de-registration or   update.2.8.2.  Effect   The result is that false/extra state is maintained by ENRP servers.   This would most likely be used as a denial-of-service attack if the   replay is used to de-register all PEs.2.8.3.  Requirement   The protocol MUST prevent replay attacks.  The replay attack   prevention mechanism in TLS meets this requirement.2.9.  Re-Establishing PU-PE Security during Failover2.9.1.  Threat   The PU fails over from PE A to PE B.  In the case that the PU had a   trusted relationship with PE A, the PU will likely not have the same   relationship established with PE B.2.9.2.  Effect   If there was a trust relationship involving security context between   PU and PE A, the equivalent trust relationship will not exist between   PU and PE B.  This will violate security policy.  For example, if the   security context with A involves encryption and the security context   with B does not, then an attacker could take advantage of the change   in security.2.9.3.  Requirement   The application SHOULD be notified when failover occurs so the   application can take appropriate action to establish a trusted   relationship with PE B.  ENRP has a mechanism to perform this   function.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                      [Page 9]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.10.  Integrity2.10.1.  Threat   The following are all instances of the same class of threats, and all   have similar effects.   a.  ENRP response to pool handle resolution is corrupted during       transmission.   b.  ENRP peer messages are corrupted during transmission.   c.  PE sends an update for values, and that information is corrupted       during transmission.2.10.2.  Effect   The result is that ASAP receives corrupt information for pool handle   resolution, which the PU believes to be accurate.  This corrupt   information could be an IP address that does not resolve to a PE so   the PU would not be able to contact the server.2.10.3.  Requirement   An integrity mechanism MUST be present.  Corruption of data that is   passed to the PU means that the PU can't rely on it.  The consequence   of corrupted information is that the IP addresses passed to the PU   might be wrong, in which case, it will not be able to reach the PE.   The interfaces that MUST implement integrity are PE to ENRP server   and ENRP to ENRP server.  The integrity mechanism in TLS is used for   this.2.11.  Data Confidentiality2.11.1.  Threat   An eavesdropper capable of snooping on fields within messages in   transit may be able to gather information, such as   topology/location/IP addresses, etc., which may not be desirable to   divulge.2.11.2.  Effect   Information that an administrator does not wish to divulge is   divulged.  The attacker gains valuable information that can be used   for financial gain or attacks on hosts.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                     [Page 10]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.11.3.  Requirement   A provision for data confidentiality service SHOULD be available.   TLS provides data confidentiality in support of this mechanism.2.12.  ENRP Server Discovery2.12.1.  Threats   a.  Thwarting successful discovery: When a PE wishes to register with       an ENRP server, it needs to discover an ENRP server.  An attacker       could thwart the successful discovery of ENRP server(s), thereby       inducing the PE to believe that no ENRP server is available.  For       instance, the attacker could reduce the returned set of ENRP       servers to null or a small set of inactive ENRP servers.  The       attacker performs a MITM attack to do this.   b.  A similar thwarting scenario also applies when an ENRP server or       ASAP on behalf of a PU needs to discover ENRP servers.   c.  Spoofing successful discovery: An attacker could spoof the       discovery by claiming to be a legitimate ENRP server.  When a PE       wishes to register, it finds the spoofed ENRP server.  An       attacker can only make such a claim if no security mechanisms are       used.   d.  A similar spoofing scenario also applies when an ENRP server or       ASAP on behalf of a PU needs to discover ENRP servers.2.12.2.  Effects (Letters Correlate with Threats above)   a.  A PE that could have been in an application server pool does not       become part of a pool.  The PE does not complete discovery       operation.  This is a DoS attack.   b.  An ENRP server that could have been in an ENRP server pool does       not become part of a pool.  A PU is unable to utilize services of       ENRP servers.   c.  This malicious ENRP would either misrepresent, ignore, or       otherwise hide or distort information about the PE to subvert       RSerPool operation.   d.  Same as above.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                     [Page 11]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.12.3.  Requirement   A provision for authentication MUST be present and a provision for   data confidentiality service SHOULD be present.  TLS has a mechanism   for confidentiality.2.13.  Flood of Endpoint-Unreachable Messages from the PU to the ENRP       Server2.13.1.  Threat   Endpoint-unreachable messages are sent by ASAP to the ENRP server   when it is unable to contact a PE.  There is the potential that a PU   could flood the ENRP server intentionally or unintentionally with   these messages.  The non-malicious case would require an incorrect   implementation.  The malicious case would be caused by writing code   to flood the ENRP server with endpoint unreachable messages.2.13.2.  Effect   The result is a DoS attack on the ENRP server.  The ENRP server would   not be able to service other PUs effectively and would not be able to   take registrations from PEs in a timely manner.  Further, it would   not be able to communicate with other ENRP servers in the pool to   update the database in a timely fashion.2.13.3.  Requirement   The number of endpoint unreachable messages sent to the ENRP server   from the PU SHOULD be limited.  This mechanism is described in the   ASAP [RFC5352] protocol document.2.14.  Flood of Endpoint Keep-Alive Messages from the ENRP Server to a       PE2.14.1.  Threat   Endpoint Keep-Alive messages would be sent from the ENRP server to   the PEs during the process of changing the Home ENRP server for this   PE.2.14.2.  Effect   If the ENRP server maliciously sent a flood of endpoint Keep-Alive   messages to the PE, the PE would not be able to service clients.  The   result is a DoS attack on the PE.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                     [Page 12]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 20082.14.3.  Requirement   ENRP MUST limit the frequency of Keep-Alive messages to a given PE to   prevent overwhelming the PE.  This mechanism is described in the ENRP   [RFC5353] protocol document.2.15.  Security of the ENRP Database2.15.1.  Threat   Another consideration involves the security characteristics of the   ENRP database.  Suppose that some of the PEs register with an ENRP   server using security and some do not.  In this case, when a client   requests handlespace resolution information from ENRP, it would have   to be informed which entries are "secure" and which are not.2.15.2.  Effect   This would not only complicate the protocol, but actually bring into   question the security and integrity of such a database.  What can be   asserted about the security of such a database is a very thorny   question.2.15.3.  Requirement   The requirement is that either the entire ENRP server database MUST   be secure; that is, it has registrations exclusively from PEs that   have used security mechanisms, or the entire database MUST be   insecure; that is, registrations are from PEs that have used no   security mechanisms.  ENRP servers that support security MUST reject   any PE server registration that does not use the security mechanisms.   Likewise, ENRP servers that support security MUST NOT accept updates   from other ENRP servers that do not use security mechanisms.  TLS is   used as the security mechanism so any information not sent using TLS   to a secure ENRP server MUST be rejected.2.16.  Cookie Mechanism Security   The application layer is out of scope for RSerPool.  However, some   questions have been raised about the security of the cookie   mechanism, which will be addressed.   Cookies are passed via the ASAP control channel.  If TCP is selected   as the transport, then the data and control channel MUST be   multiplexed.  Therefore, the cases:   a.  control channel is secured; data channel is notStillman, et. al.            Informational                     [Page 13]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 2008   b.  data channel is secured; control channel is not   are not possible, as the multiplexing onto one TCP port results in   security for both data and control channels or neither.   The multiplexing requirement results in the following cases:   1.  the multiplexed control channel-data channel is secure; *or*   2.  the multiplexed control channel-data channel is not secured.   This applies to cookies in the sense that, if you choose to secure   your control-data channel, then the cookies are secured.   A second issue is that the PE could choose to sign and/or encrypt the   cookie.  In this case, it must share keys and other information with   other PEs.  This application-level state sharing is out of scope of   RSerPool.2.17.  Potential Insider Attacks from Legitimate ENRP Servers   The previous text does not address all byzantine attacks that could   arise from legitimate ENRP servers.  True protection against   misbehavior by authentic (but rogue) servers is beyond the capability   of TLS security mechanisms.  Authentication using TLS does not   protect against byzantine attacks, as authenticated ENRP servers   might have been maliciously hacked.  Protections against insider   attacks are generally specific to the attack, so more experimentation   is needed.  For example, the following discusses two insider attacks   and potential mitigations.   One issue is that legitimate users may choose not to follow the   proposed policies regarding the choice of servers (namely, members in   the pool).  If the "choose a member at random" policy is employed,   then a pool user can always set its "random choices" so that it picks   a particular pool member.  This bypasses the "load sharing" idea   behind the policy.  Another issue is that a pool member (or server)   may report a wrong policy to a user.   To mitigate the first attack, the protocol may require the pool user   to "prove" to the pool member that the pool member was chosen   "randomly", say by demonstrating that the random choice was the   result of applying some hash function to a public nonce.  Different   methods may be appropriate for other member scheduling policies.Stillman, et. al.            Informational                     [Page 14]

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 2008   To mitigate the second attack, the protocol might require the PE to   sign the policy sent to the ENRP server.  During pool handle   resolution, the signed policy needs to be sent from an ENRP server to   an ASAP endpoint in a way that will allow the user to later hold the   server accountable to the policy.3.  Security Considerations   This informational document characterizes potential security threats   targeting the RSerPool architecture.  The security mechanisms   required to mitigate these threats are summarized for each   architectural component.  It will be noted which mechanisms are   required and which are optional.   From the threats described in this document, the security services   required for the RSerPool protocol suite are given in the following   table.Stillman, et. al.

To summarize, the first twelve threats require security mechanisms   that support authentication, integrity, data confidentiality, and   protection from replay attacks.  For RSerPool, we need to   authenticate the following:   o  PU -----> ENRP Server (PU authenticates the ENRP server)   o  PE <----> ENRP Server (mutual authentication)   o  ENRP server <-----> ENRP Server (mutual authentication)Stillman, et. al.

RFC 5355                    RSerPool Threats              September 2008   Summary by component:   RSerPool client --  mandatory-to-implement authentication of the ENRP      server is required for accurate pool handle resolution.  This is      to protect against threats from rogue ENRP servers.  In addition,      confidentiality, integrity, and preventing replay attack are also      mandatory to implement to protect from eavesdropping and data      corruption or false data transmission.  Confidentiality is      mandatory to implement and is used when privacy is required.   PE to ENRP communications --  mandatory-to-implement mutual      authentication, integrity, and protection from replay attack is      required for PE to ENRP communications.  This is to protect the      integrity of the ENRP handlespace database.  Confidentiality is      mandatory to implement and is used when privacy is required.   ENRP to ENRP communications --  mandatory-to-implement mutual      authentication, integrity, and protection from replay attack is      required for ENRP to ENRP communications.  This is to protect the      integrity of the ENRP handlespace database.  Confidentiality is      mandatory to implement and is used when privacy is required.4.
