Introduction There is a need for standard mechanisms to identify the YANG modules and submodules that are in use by a server that implements YANG data models. If a large number of YANG modules are utilized by the server, then the YANG library contents needed can be relatively large. This information changes very infrequently, so it is important that clients be able to cache the YANG library contents and easily identify whether their cache is out of date. YANG library information can be different on every server and can change at runtime or across a server reboot. If the server implements multiple protocols to access the YANG- defined data, each such protocol has its own conceptual instantiation of the YANG library. The following information is needed by a client application (for each YANG module in the library) to fully utilize the YANG data modeling language: o name: The name of the YANG module. o revision: Each YANG module and submodule within the library has a revision. This is derived from the most recent revision statement within the module or submodule. If no such revision statement exists, the module's or submodule's revision is the zero-length string.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 7895 YANG Library June 2016 o submodule list: The name and revision of each submodule used by the module MUST be identified. o feature list: The name of each YANG feature supported by the server MUST be identified. o deviation list: The name of each YANG module used for deviation statements MUST be identified.1.1. Terminology The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described inBCP14, [RFC2119]. The following terms are defined in [RFC6241]: o client o server The following terms are defined in [YANG1.1]: o module o submodule The following terms are used within this document: o YANG library: A collection of YANG modules and submodules used by a server.1.2. Tree Diagrams A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows: o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys. o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration data (read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only). o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7895 YANG Library June 2016 o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":"). o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown.2. YANG Module Library The "ietf-yang-library" module provides information about the YANG library used by a server. This module is defined using YANG version 1, but it supports the description of YANG modules written in any revision of YANG. Following is the YANG Tree Diagram for the "ietf-yang-library" module: +--ro modules-state +--ro module-set-id string +--ro module* [name revision] +--ro name yang:yang-identifier +--ro revision union +--ro schema? inet:uri +--ro namespace inet:uri +--ro feature* yang:yang-identifier +--ro deviation* [name revision] | +--ro name yang:yang-identifier | +--ro revision union +--ro conformance-type enumeration +--ro submodule* [name revision] +--ro name yang:yang-identifier +--ro revision union +--ro schema? inet:uri2.1. modules-state This mandatory container holds the identifiers for the YANG data model modules supported by the server.2.1.1. modules-state/module-set-id This mandatory leaf contains a unique implementation-specific identifier representing the current set of modules and submodules on a specific server. The value of this leaf MUST change whenever the set of modules and submodules in the YANG library changes. There is no requirement that the same set always results in the same "module- set-id" value.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7895 YANG Library June 2016 This leaf allows a client to fetch the module list once, cache it, and only refetch it if the value of this leaf has been changed. If the value of this leaf changes, the server also generates a "yang-library-change" notification, with the new value of "module-set-id". Note that for a NETCONF server that implements YANG 1.1 [YANG1.1], a change of the "module-set-id" value results in a new value for the :yang-library capability defined in [YANG1.1]. Thus, if such a server implements NETCONF notifications [RFC5277], and the notification "netconf-capability-change" [RFC6470], a "netconf-capability-change" notification is generated whenever the "module-set-id" changes.2.1.2. modules-state/module This mandatory list contains one entry for each YANG data model module supported by the server. There MUST be an entry in this list for each revision of each YANG module that is used by the server. It is possible for multiple revisions of the same module to be imported, in addition to an entry for the revision that is implemented by the server.2.2. YANG Library Module The "ietf-yang-library" module defines monitoring information for the YANG modules used by a server. The "ietf-yang-types" and "ietf-inet-types" modules from [RFC6991] are used by this module for some type definitions. <CODE BEGINS> file "ietf-yang-library@2016-06-21.yang" module ietf-yang-library { namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-library"; prefix "yanglib"; import ietf-yang-types { prefix yang; } import ietf-inet-types { prefix inet; }Bierman, et al.

RFC 7895 YANG Library June 20163. IANA Considerations3.1. YANG Module Registry This document registers one URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. Following the format inRFC 3688, the following registration has been made. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-library Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF. XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace. This document registers one YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]. name: ietf-yang-library namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-library prefix: yanglib reference:RFC 78954. Security Considerations The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content. Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: o /modules-state/module: The module list used in a server implementation may help an attacker identify the server capabilities and server implementations with known bugs. Although some of this information may be available to all users via the NETCONF <hello> message (or similar messages in other management protocols), this YANG module potentially exposes additional details that could be of some assistance to an attacker. Server vulnerabilities may be specific to particular modules, module revisions, module features, or even module deviations. This information is included in each module entry. For example, if a particular operation on a particular data node is known to cause a server to crash or significantly degrade device performance, thenBierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 7895 YANG Library June 2016 the module list information will help an attacker identify server implementations with such a defect, in order to launch a denial- of-service attack on the device.5.
