Vendors worried Vista IPv6 too slippery for managed networks

,----[ Quote ]
| Researchers have raised new questions about the security of Vista's IPv6 
| implementation. James Hoagland from Symantec and Suresh Krishnan from 
| Ericsson wrote an Internet-Draft that calls attention to the Teredo protocol 
| and the fact that many firewalls don't understand this protocol, and 
| therefore can't inspect the packets embedded within it.

| Hoagland noted that the Cupertino, Calif.-based Symantec has already 
| discovered one Teredo/IPv6-related flaw in Vista, which Microsoft patched in 
| the MS07-038 security update released last month. According to the 
| researchers, the Teredo interface in Vista was not properly handling certain 
| network traffic, allowing remote attackers to bypass firewall-blocking rules 
| and obtain sensitive information via crafted IPv6 traffic.

The $200 Billion Lunch: We're switching to IPv6, dontcha know, and it might
be worth it.

| To a certain extent, it is Sputnik all over again. Some people see this as 
| a place where there will be a commercial disadvantage unless the U.S. keeps 
| up. It is comparable to NTSC vs. PAL television standards (hint: PAL is 
| better but we don't have it).

| And what is happening in the USA? Well we have Net Neutrality. We
| have a telco rebuilding a national monopoly. We have Cisco and
| Microsoft working together on Network Admission Control (NAC). I can
| see a time in the near future when they'll try to charge me for every
| PC in my house. While China is building a national resource, our
| government is letting companies turn the public Internet into an
| expensive private toll road.
