Abstract:
   This memo documents two scenarios in which an on-link attacker emits
   a crafted IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) packet that poisons its
   victim's neighbor cache.  In the first scenario, the attacker causes
   a victim to map a local IPv6 address to a local router's own link-
   layer address.  In the second scenario, the attacker causes the
   victim to map a unicast IP address to a link layer broadcast address.
   In both scenarios, the attacker can exploit the poisoned neighbor
   cache to perform a subsequent forwording-loop attack, thus
   potentially causing a Denial of Service.

   Finally, this memo specifies simple validations that the recipient of
   an ND message can execute in order to protect itself against the
   above-mentioned threats.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
