8. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with 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:
Table Sensitivity/vulnerability
1. atmSvcVpCrossConnectTable Deletion of VP cross-connects
2. atmSvcVcCrossConnectTable Deletion of VC cross-connects
3. atmSigStatTable Signalling read-only statistics
4. atmSigSupportTable Signalling configuration params
5. atmSigDescrParamTable Signalling configuration params
6. atmIfRegisteredAddrTable Interface address table
7. atmVclAddrTable VCL/Address mapping table
8. atmAddrVclTable VCL/Address mapping table
(read-only)
9. atmVplStatTable VPL statistics (read-only)
10. atmVplLogicalPortTable VPL logical port configuration
11. atmVclStatTable VCL statistics (read-only)
12. atmAal5VclStatTable AAL5 statistics (read-only)
13. atmVclGenTable Signalling configuration
14. atmInterfaceExtTable Interface configuration
15. atmIlmiSrvcRegTable ILMI config params
16. atmIlmiNetworkPrefixTable ILMI config params
17. atmSwitchAddressTable Switch address info
18. atmVpCrossConnectXTable VP cross-connect params
19. atmVcCrossConnectXTable VC cross-connect params
20. atmCurrentlyFailingPVplTable PVPL status info (read-only)
21. atmCurrentlyFailingPVclTable PVCL status info (read-only)
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.
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.
