CVE-1999-0111

Summary

CVE-1999-0111 identifies a vulnerability in the Routing Information Protocol version 1 (RIPv1). This issue allows an attacker to spoof IP addresses, potentially leading to routing table manipulation and network disruption. RIPv1 relies on trust relationships between neighboring routers, making it susceptible to this spoofing attack. The vulnerability could result in routing traffic to incorrect destinations, causing network congestion, or providing unauthorized access to network resources. It is recommended that organizations migrate to more secure routing protocols, such as RIP version 2 (RIPv2) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), to mitigate this risk.
