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: iscsiPortalAttributesTable, iscsiTgtPortalAttributesTable, and iscsiIntrPortalAttributesTable can be used to add or remove IP addresses to be used by iSCSI. iscsiTgtAuthAttributesTable entries can be added or removed, to allow or disallow access to a target by an initiator. 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. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: iscsiNodeAttributesTable, iscsiTargetAttributesTable, and iscsiTgtAuthorization can be used to glean information needed to make connections to the iSCSI targets this module represents. However, it is the responsibility of the initiators and targets involved to authenticate each other to ensure that an inappropriately advertised or discovered initiator or target does not compromise their security. These issues are discussed in [RFC3720]. 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 implementors 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
ToP   noToC   RFC4544 - Page 80
   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.

9. IANA Considerations

The IANA has assigned a MIB OID number under the mib-2 branch for the ISCSI-MIB.
