IP provider performance measurement BOF
by Matt Mathis 06 Mar '95

06 Mar '95

I have volunteered to chair a BOF on "IP provider performance measurement" at the Danvers IETF. I think that 9:00 AM Thursday the 6th will be fine. The BOF will first focus on issues relating to a possible WG. We will address such questions as need, scope, charter and chair. I hope to spend most of the time doing real work. ======================== Rough Draft Charter: IP Provider Metrics (IPPM) The IPPM WG will develop a set of standard measures (metrics?) that can be applied to the the quality, performance and reliability of an IP datagram service. These metrics will be designed such that they can be performed by the providers themselves, customers, potential customers or independent testing groups. The areas covered will include: I) Path Performance A) Bulk data transfer performance (ftp, etc) B) Interactive performance (Telnet, X11, etc) C) Real-time and multicast performance (delay statistics) II) Routing stability and robustness A) Availability B) Time to recover (e.g. switch to backup paths) C) Route stability (Spurious route transitions, etc) The IPPM WG will select or adapt existing tools and develop standard procedures for performing and documenting the measurements. ================================== Do you need additional information? Is there a procedures document for BOF chairs? WG chairs? When and where should I circulate an agenda? Thanks, --MM--

I used a variety of tools and some hand crafted html. For the powerpoint presentations, I read them into Powerpoint on my Mac and saved them as a scapebook file. Then I used GraphicConverter to make GIFs directly from the PICTs in the scrapebook file. For the Frame Maker presentations, I converted them to MIF and use fm2html to convert the mostly text slides. I produced postscript from the pages that were graphics and converted them as I did all postscript. See below for the details on that. I used Photoshop and an HP ScanJet for the drawings that were made at the meeting. I used ghostscript for the postscript. I converted them to ppm files and then used xv to make GIFs. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob(a)academ.com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: bcm!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine.

NOTES COMPLETED
by sob＠academ.com 03 Mar '95

03 Mar '95

All of the notes I have are completed. There are two notable omissions: 1. Jack Waters slides are not here. I don't have them. 2. Sean Doran's Transition slides are not here. They appeared to be cropped along one side. I have asked Sean to take a look, but I have not heard more. On Monday, I will package it all up for Merit to download for its permanent home up there. Until Merit does install them, they will remain avaialble at http://www.academ.com/nanog Thanks for all the kind words from many of you. Even more thanks to the presenters who made there slides available to me in machine readable format. Monumental thanks to those presenters that translated their slides into HTML before sending them to me. Those made the best looking pages of all. If any of you notice any problems with the notes, please continue to let me know and I will do my best to fix them. I don't know if I will make the ISOC meeting. If I do, I will take notes there as well unless otherwise instructed. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob(a)academ.com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: bcm!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine.

CERT Advisory - CA-95:03a REVISED Telnet Encryption Vulnerability
by CERT Advisory 03 Mar '95

03 Mar '95

============================================================================= CA-95:03a CERT Advisory March 3, 1995 REVISED Telnet Encryption Vulnerability ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** THIS IS A REVISED CERT ADVISORY *** *** A portion of the patch was accidentally omitted from Appendix B in the original release of CA-95:03. This revision contains a new, complete Appendix B.*** The CERT Coordination Center has received reports of a serious security problem in the Berkeley Telnet clients that provide support for the experimental Telnet encryption option using the Kerberos V4 authentication. All known released versions of the BSD Telnet that support Kerberos V4 authentication and encryption are affected. We recommend that all sites that use encrypted telnet in conjunction with Kerberos V4 obtain a patch or upgraded version of Telnet according to the instructions in Section III below. As we receive additional information relating to this advisory, we will place it, along with any clarifications, in a CA-95:03a.README file. CERT advisories and their associated README files are available by anonymous FTP from info.cert.org. We encourage you to check the README files regularly for updates on advisories that relate to your site. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description There is a vulnerability in Berkeley Telnet clients that support encryption and Kerberos V4 authentications. This vulnerability substantially reduces the effectiveness of the encryption. II. Impact Anyone who can access and read packets that make up the encrypted Telnet session can easily decrypt the session. This is possible, for example, when an intruder uses a packet sniffer on the network to intercept the Telnet sessions. III. Solution Obtain and install the appropriate patch according to the instructions included with the patch. In Appendix A is a summary of the vendors who have reported to us and the status they provided, including how to obtain patches. This information is reproduced in the README file associated with this advisory. We will update the README file as we receive more information from vendors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center wishes to thank Theodore Ts'o of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for identifying and developing a solution to this problem. We also thank Douglas Engert of Argonne National Laboratory for pointing out the omission in our original Appendix B. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact the CERT Coordination Center or your representative in Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). If you wish to send sensitive incident or vulnerability information to CERT staff by electronic mail, we strongly advise that the e-mail be encrypted. The CERT Coordination Center can support a shared DES key, PGP (public key available via anonymous FTP on info.cert.org) or PEM (contact CERT staff for details). Internet E-mail: cert(a)cert.org Telephone: +1 412-268-7090 (24-hour hotline) CERT personnel answer 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST(GMT-5)/EDT(GMT-4), and are on call for emergencies during other hours. Fax: +1 412-268-6989 CERT Coordination Center Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890 USA Past advisories, CERT bulletins, information about FIRST representatives, and other information related to computer security are available for anonymous FTP from info.cert.org. CERT is a service mark of Carnegie Mellon University. ............................................................................. Appendix A: Vendor Information CA-95:03a.README Issue date: March 3, 1995 This file is a supplement to CERT advisory CA-95:03a, "Telnet Encryption Vulnerability" and will be updated as additional information becomes available. This README supersedes CA-95:03.README. As of March 3, 1995, information from Digital Equipment Corporation and Sequent Computer Systems has been added to the original text. Below is information we have received from vendors who have patches available or upcoming, along with names of vendors who have reported that their products do not have the problem. If you have an encrypting Telnet from a vendor who is not listed, please contact that vendor for information regarding how to get a fixed version. Vendor or Source Status ---------------- ------------ Berkeley SW Distribution (BSD) source-code patch available from Berkeley; also in Appendix B of this advisory Data General Corporation not affected by the vulnerability Digital Equipment Corporation not affected by the vulnerability FTP Software, Inc. patch available Harris NightHawk System not affected by the vulnerability Hewlett-Packard Company not affected by the vulnerability Nat'l. Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) upgrade available Open Software Foundation not affected by the vulnerability The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.(SCO) not affected by the vulnerability Sequent Computer Systems not affected by the vulnerability Sun Microsystems, Inc. not affected by the vulnerability PATCH INFORMATION ------------- Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) A source-code patch, along with the domestic version of the most recently released Telnet sources from Berkeley, are available by anonymous FTP from net-dist.mit.edu:/pub/telnet/telnet.patch MD5 65d56befe3d0f1699d38de5509552578 There is also a PGP ASCII signature file for the patch in net-dist.mit.edu:/pub/telnet/telnet.patch.sig This patch can also be found in CERT Advisory CA-95:03a, Appendix B. (Note: Do not calculate a checksum for Appendix B alone. It will not match the checksum of the FTP version of the patch because the tabs in the FTP copy have been replaced with blank spaces in the CA-95:03a Appendix B copy.) ------------- FTP Software, Inc. Customers of FTP Software with an encrypting telnet (provided in the PC/TCP or OnNet packages) should call the FTP technical support line at 1-800-282-4387 and ask for the "tn encrypt patch". ------------- National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) Users of NCSA Telnet should upgrade to the NCSA Telnet 2.6.1d7, AND install the appropriate Kerberos plug-in which are available by anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu Upgrade /Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.6/prerelease/d7/Telnet2.6.1d7(68K).sit.hqx MD5 b34b9fda59421b3b83f8df08a83f83b5 /Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.6/prerelease/d7/Telnet2.6.1d7(fat).sit.hqx MD5 877add7c3d298111889fc3f2f272ce6f Kerberos plug-ins /Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.6/prerelease/AuthMan.plugin.1.0b1.hqx MD5 df727eae184b22125f90ef1a31513fd4 /Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.6/prerelease/Kerberos_Telnet_plugin.sit.hqx MD5 dbda691efe9038648f234397895c734d Questions regarding NCSA Telnet should be directed to mactel(a)ncsa.uiuc.edu .............................................................................
