IPv6 WG, The chairs have reviewed all the comments and feedback on the Routing Header Type 0 vulnerability. The consensus of the working group is seen as:
- Deprecate the Type 0 Routing Header - Provide guidance to operators to disable RH0 where possible As a part of the deprecation, implementations should return an ICMP parameter problem message to the packet source. The chairs request that the authors of the two two drafts currently published discussing the RH0 issue (draft-jabley-ipv6-rh0-is-evil-00.txt and draft-savola-ipv6-rtheader-00.txt) combine them and publish a single draft as an IPv6 w.g. document. Please make any issues/problems you may have with this approach known to either the mailing list or the chairs directly.
