Re: additional attack for multi6 threat draft?

marcelo;

X sends to A a sort of BU binding X as the CoA and B as the HoA (in order to
do this X may need to be on the path between A and B, but if this is only
for a short period of time that attack can be successful)

MITM can do almost anything, of course.

Do you think this is a real threat?

No, of course.

the example considered in the threat draft is that A and B will comunicate,

ALl you need is a threat draft with plain IP.

(i will use mip notation to simplify) 

Just FYI, MIPv6 or any mobility protocol with triangular
elimination can be a cause of new type of threat, even
though no MITM is involed.

However, triangular emilination is an important feature of MIPv6
and it has nothing to do with multi6.
