RE: FW: draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-09.txt
Hi Bert et al.,
All the changes in the mail below have been included in the MIB.
Regarding the security concerns, we think that what you're proposing is already stated in the MIB (see 3rd paragraph within Sec. Cons. section). This was your comment:
*****start included text******
Here is more input from IESG (assuming one more rev will
occur)... it is from one of the security ADs. You may want
to try and add some more explantion to the security considerations
section that tells about each object what exactly the concerns
or security and/or privacy aspects are. So that operators/users
do have proper information based on which they can decide how
to configure access control to those objects and tables.
***** end included text ****
Pls, send us any further comments you have. We will very pleased to address them.
We're sending you attached the updated version. When everything is OK, we'll send it out to the RFC-editor.
Thanks // Maria and Javier.

Abstract
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable
transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet
network such as IP. It is designed to transport PSTN signaling
messages over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of
broader applications.
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
describes the minimum set of objects needed to manage the
implementation of the SCTP.

INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June, 2003
1. Introduction
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
describes managed objects for implementations of the SCTP.
The document starts with a brief description of the SNMP framework
and continues with the MIB explanation and security consideration
sections among others.
The managed objects in this MIB module are based on [RFC2012] update:
"Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP)" referred as [TCPMIB] (work in progress), and RFC 3291 "Textual
Conventions for Internet Network Addresses" [RFC3291].
Terms related to the SCTP architecture are explained in [RFC2960].
Other specific abbreviations are listed below.
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. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 3]

RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].

The main groups are explained further in the MIB definition.
3.1 SCTP Objets
This branch contains the SCTP statistics and general parameters (both
of them scalars) and the SCTP MIB tables.
3.1.1 SCTP Statistics
The SCTP MIB includes both Counter32s and Counter64s to deal with
statistics. Counter64s are used for those counters, which are likely
to wrap around in less than one hour, according to [RFC2863].
In addition Gauge32 is also used.
3.1.1.1 State-Related Statistics
These statistics are based on the TCP model, but adapted to the SCTP
states. They store the number of successful association attempts, how
many associations have been initiated by the local or the remote SCTP
layer, and the number of associations terminated in a graceful (by
means of SHUTDOWN procedure) or ungraceful way (by means of CLOSE
procedure).
3.1.1.2 Statistics for traffic Measurements
This set of objects specifies statistics related to the whole SCTP
layer. There are, e.g., statistics related to both SCTP packets and
SCTP chunks.
Statistics related to a specific association, or local/remote IP
addresses are defined inside its associated table.
3.1.2 SCTP Parameters
This section of the MIB contains the general variables for the
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June, 2003
SCTP protocol. Maximum, minimum, initial and default values are
listed here.
SCTP RTO mechanism definition is based on the TCP MIB [TCPMIB]. In
SCTP, only options 'other' and 'vanj' are valid since SCTP defines
Van Jacobson's algorithm (vanj) as the one to be used to calculate
RTO. 'Other' is left for future use.
3.1.3 MIB Tables
There are several tables included in the SCTP MIB. The first group
deals with the SCTP association variables and is composed of a main
and two extended tables. The second group is a bunch of tables used
to perform reverse lookups.
It is NOT possible to create rows in any table (sctpAssocTable,
sctpAssocLocalAddrTable, sctpRemAddrTable and Reverse Lookup tables)
using SNMP.
It is NOT possible to delete rows in any table using SNMP except in
sctpAssocTable under the particular conditions explained below.
3.1.3.1 Association Table
The sctpAssocTable is the main MIB table, where all the association
related information is stored on a per association basis. It is
structured according to expanded tables. The main table is called
sctpAssocTable and is indexed by sctpAssocId (the association
identification). This is a value that uniquely identifies an
association. The MIB does not restrict what value must be written
here, however it must be unique within the table.
The sctpAssoc index is also shared by two more tables:
- sctpAssocLocalAddrTable: to store the local IP address(-es).
- sctpAssocRemAddrTable: to store the remote addresses and the
per-remote-address related information.
Entries in the sctpAssocTable are created when trying to establish
the association, i.e., when sending the COOKIE-ECHO message
(originating side) or the COOKIE-ACK message (server side). At this
point, i.e., at established state, all entry fields are filled in
with valid values.
Note: The following representation is a conceptual mode of describing
the relationship between the tables in this MIB. Note that the real
relationship of the tables is by sharing an index, so tables are not
truly within tables. Every entry is explained when defining the
corresponding objects in the MIB.

Both sctpAssocLocalAddrTable and sctpAssocRemAddrTable are indexed by
addresses. 'Addr' and 'AddrType' use the syntax InetAddress and
InetAddressType defined in the Textual Conventions for Internet
Network Address (RFC3291). The InetAddressType TC has codepoints for
unknown, IPv4, IPv6, non-global IPv4, non-global IPv6, and DNS
addresses, but only the IPv4 and IPv6 address types are required tobe
supported by implementations of this MIB module. Implementations
that connect multiple zones are expected to support the non-global
IPv4 and non-global IPv6 address types as well.
Note that DNS addresses are not used in this MIB module. They are
always resolved to the on-the-wire form prior to connection setup,
and the on-the-wire form is what appears in the MIB objects.
The sctpAssocLocalAddrTable table will have as many entries as local
IP addresses have been defined for the association. The
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 8]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June, 2003
sctpAssocRemAddrTable table will contain as many entries as remote IP
addresses are known to reach the peer. For multihoming concept see
reference RFC2960.
To keep the name of the remote peer (when provided by the peer at
initialization time), an entry has been created in the sctpAssocTable
called sctpAssocRemHostName. When no DNS name is provided by the
remote endpoint, this value will be NULL (zero-length string).
Otherwise, the received DNS name will be stored here.
If it is necessary to abort an existing association, the value
deleteTCB(9) must be written in the variable sctpAssocState. That is
the only way to delete rows in any of the mentioned tables.
3.1.3.2 Reverse Lookup Table
There are five reverse lookup tables to help management applications
efficiently access conceptual rows in other tables. These tables
allow management applications to avoid expensive tree walks through
large numbers of associations.
All of these tables are optional. If these tables are implemented, an
entry in them must be created after the entry in the main table
(sctpAssocTable) associated with it has been created. This ensures
that the field indexing the lookup table exists.
The defined reverse lookup tables allow for performing a lookup using
the following variables:
- Local Port: It allows a management application to find all the
associations that use a specific local port
- Remote Port: It allows a management application to find all the
associations that use a specific remote port
- Remote Host Name: It allows a management application to find
all the associations with a specific host name.
- Remote Primary IP Address: It allows a management application
to find all the associations that use a specific remote IP
address as primary.
- Remote IP address: a management application to find all the
associations that use a specific remote IP address.
As an example the picture below shows the table to look up by local
port.

It is not possible for the operator to either create or delete rows
in these tables. The rows in this table will dynamically appear and
be removed as the corresponding entries in sctpAssocTable are.
3.2 Conformance
The conformance section recommends as optional all the inverse lookup
tables in this MIB. General layer and per association parameters and
statistics are considered mandatory.
IP addresses use the global IPv4 and global IPv6 address formats.
Unknown value and DNS name formats are not used. Names, if present,
are stored in the sctpRemoteHostName variable.

5. Compiling Notes
When compiling the MIB warnings similar to the following may occur:
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 40]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June, 2003
- warning: index of row `sctpAssocLocalAddrEntry' can exceed OID
size limit by 141 subidentifier(s)
- warning: index of row `sctpAssocRemAddrEntry' can exceed OID
size limit by 141 subidentifier(s)
- warning: index of row `sctpLookupRemPrimIPAddrEntry' can exceed
OID size limit by 141 subidentifier(s)
- warning: index of row `sctpLookupRemIPAddrEntry' can exceed OID
size limit by 141 subidentifier(s)
These warnings are due to the fact that the row objects have index
objects of type InetAddress whose size limit is 255 octets, and if
that size limit were reached the names of column instances in those
rows would exceed the 128 sub-identifier limit imposed by current
versions of the SNMP. Actual limitations for the index object sizes
are noted in the conceptual row DESCRIPTION clauses, and will not be
reached with any of the address types in current use.

7. Security Consideration
There are management objects defined in this MIB that have a
MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects may
be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.
The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without
proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 42]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June, 2003
o The sctpAssocState object has a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write,
which allows termination of an arbitrary connection. Unauthorized
access could cause a denial of service.
Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to
control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
o The sctpAssocTable, sctpAssocLocalAddressTable,
sctpAssocRemAddressTable and the lookup tables contain objects
providing information on the active associations on the device, local
and peer’s IP addresses, the status of these associations and the
associated processes. This information may be used by an attacker to
launch attacks against known/unknown weakness in certain protocols /
applications.
o The sctpAssocTable contains objects providing information on local
and remote ports objects, that can be used to identify what ports are
open on the machine and can thus suggest what attacks are likely to
succeed, without the attacker having to run a port scanner.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
