CVE-1999-0111

Summary

CVE-1999-0111 identifies a vulnerability in the Routing Information Protocol version 1 (RIPv1). This issue allows for spoofing, meaning an attacker can manipulate routing information and potentially disrupt network communications or redirect traffic. RIPv1 is an older routing protocol that relies on trust between neighboring routers and does not provide robust authentication mechanisms, making it susceptible to this type of attack. Networks using RIPv1 are at risk if they do not implement proper security measures to mitigate the impact of this vulnerability.
