Category: Misc. Risk factor: Medium Added: 2 Jul 2009
Synopsis:

It might be possible to hijack connections on this network.

Description:

This host is running a RIP-2 agent.

RIP-2 requests can be authenticated but Scanner cannot check this in the current configuration.

If authentication is not implemented, an attacker on the same network may feed the target machine bogus routes and hijack network connections.

Note that this may be a false positive.

Solution:

Either disable the RIP agent if it is not used or implement RIP-2 authentication.

Risk factor:

Medium / CVSS Base Score : 5.4
