RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
1. Introduction
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) [RFC2131] is used to
provide addressing and configuration information to IPv4 hosts. DHCP
uses several identifiers that could become a source for gleaning
information about the IPv4 host. This information may include device
type, operating system information, location(s) that the device may
have previously visited, etc. This document discusses the various
identifiers used by DHCP and the potential privacy issues [RFC6973].
In particular, it takes into consideration the problem of pervasive
monitoring [RFC7258].
Future works may propose protocol changes to fix the privacy issues
that have been analyzed in this document. Those changes are out of
scope for this document.
The primary focus of this document is around privacy considerations
for clients to support client mobility and connection to random
networks. The privacy of DHCP servers and relay agents is considered
less important as they are typically open for public services. And,
it is generally assumed that communication from relay agent to server
is protected from casual snooping, as that communication occurs in
the provider's backbone. Nevertheless, the topics involving relay
agents and servers are explored to some degree. However, future work
may want to further explore the privacy of DHCP servers and relay
agents.
2. Requirements Language and Terminology
Naming conventions from [RFC2131] and related documents are used
throughout this document.
In addition, the following terminology is used:
Stable identifier - Any property disclosed by a DHCP client that
does not change over time or changes very infrequently and is
unique for said client in a given context. Examples include
MAC address, client-id, and a hostname. Some identifiers may
be considered stable only under certain conditions; for
example, one client implementation may keep its client-id
stored in stable storage, while another may generate it on
the fly and use a different one after each boot. Stable
identifiers may or may not be globally unique.
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
3. DHCP Options Carrying Identifiers
In DHCP, there are a few options that contain identification
information or that can be used to extract identification information
about the client. This section enumerates various options and the
identifiers that they convey and that can be used to disclose client
identification. They are targets of various attacks that are
analyzed in Section 5.
3.1. Client Identifier Option
The Client Identifier option [RFC2131] is used to pass an explicit
client identifier to a DHCP server.
The client identifier is an opaque key that must be unique to that
client within the subnet to which the client is attached. It
typically remains stable after it has been initially generated. It
may contain a hardware address, identical to the contents of the
'chaddr' field, or another type of identifier, such as a DNS name.
Section 9.2 of [RFC3315] specifies DUID-LLT (Link-layer plus time) as
the recommended DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier) type in DHCPv6.
Section 6.1 of [RFC4361] introduces this concept to DHCP. Those two
documents recommend that client identifiers be generated by using the
permanent link-layer address of the network interface that the client
is trying to configure. [RFC4361] updates the recommendation for a
Client Identifier as follows: "[it] consists of a type field whose
value is normally 255, followed by a four-byte IA_ID field, followed
by the DUID for the client as defined in RFC 3315, section 9". This
does not change the lifecycle of client identifiers. Clients are
expected to generate their client identifiers once (during first
operation) and store them in non-volatile storage or use the same
deterministic algorithm to generate the same client identifier values
again.
This means that typically an implementation will use the available
link-layer address during its first boot. Even if the administrator
enables link-layer address randomization, it is likely that it was
not yet enabled during the first device boot. Hence the original,
unobfuscated link-layer address will likely end up being announced as
the client identifier, even if the link-layer address has changed (or
even if it is being changed on a periodic basis). The exposure of
the original link-layer address in the client identifier will also
undermine other privacy extensions such as [RFC4941].
3.2. Address Fields and Options
The 'yiaddr' field [RFC2131] in a DHCP message is used to convey an
allocated address from the server to the client.
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
The DHCP specification [RFC2131] provides a way to specify the client
link-layer address in the DHCP message header. A DHCP message header
has 'htype' and 'chaddr' fields to specify the client link-layer
address type and the link-layer address, respectively. The 'chaddr'
field is used both as a hardware address for transmission of reply
messages and as a client identifier.
The 'requested IP address' option [RFC2131] is used by a client to
suggest that a particular IP address be assigned.
3.3. Client FQDN Option
The Client Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) option [RFC4702] is
used by DHCP clients and servers to exchange information about the
client's FQDN and about who has the responsibility for updating the
DNS with the associated A and PTR RRs.
A client can use this option to convey all or part of its domain name
to a DHCP server for the IP-address-to-FQDN mapping. In most cases,
a client sends its hostname as a hint for the server. The DHCP
server may be configured to modify the supplied name or to substitute
a different name. The server should send its notion of the complete
FQDN for the client in the Domain Name field.
3.4. Parameter Request List Option
The Parameter Request List option [RFC2131] is used to inform the
server about options the client wants the server to send to the
client. The contents of a Parameter Request List option are the
option codes of the options requested by the client.
3.5. Vendor Class and Vendor-Identifying Vendor Class Options
The Vendor Class option [RFC2131], the Vendor-Identifying Vendor
Class option, and the Vendor-Identifying Vendor Information option
[RFC3925] are used by the DHCP client to identify the vendor that
manufactured the hardware on which the client is running.
The information contained in the data area of this option is
contained in one or more opaque fields that identify the details of
the hardware configuration of the host on which the client is running
or of industry consortium compliance -- for example, the version of
the operating system the client is running or the amount of memory
installed on the client.
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 5]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
3.6. Civic Location Option
DHCP servers use the Civic Location Option [RFC4776] to deliver
location information (the civic and postal addresses) to DHCP
clients. It may refer to three locations: the location of the DHCP
server, the location of the network element believed to be closest to
the client, or the location of the client, identified by the "what"
element within the option.
3.7. Coordinate-Based Location Option
The GeoConf and GeoLoc options [RFC6225] are used by a DHCP server to
provide coordinate-based geographic location information to DHCP
clients. They enable a DHCP client to obtain its geographic
location.
3.8. Client System Architecture Type Option
The Client System Architecture Type Option [RFC4578] is used by a
DHCP client to send a list of supported architecture types to the
DHCP server. It is used by clients that must be booted using the
network rather than from local storage, so the server can decide
which boot file should be provided to the client.
3.9. Relay Agent Information Option and Suboptions
A DHCP relay agent includes a Relay Agent Information option[RFC3046]
to identify the remote host end of the circuit. It contains a
"circuit ID" suboption for the incoming circuit, which is an agent-
local identifier of the circuit from which a DHCP client-to-server
packet was received, and a "remote ID" suboption that provides a
trusted identifier for the remote high-speed modem.
Possible encoding of the "circuit ID" suboption includes: router
interface number, switching hub port number, remote access server
port number, frame relay Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI), ATM
virtual circuit number, cable data virtual circuit number, etc.
Possible encoding of the "remote ID" suboption includes: a "caller
ID" telephone number for dial-up connection, a "user name" prompted
for by a remote access server, a remote caller's ATM address, a
"modem ID" of a cable data modem, the remote IP address of a point-
to-point link, a remote X.25 address for X.25 connections, etc.
The link-selection suboption [RFC3527] is used by any DHCP relay
agent that desires to specify a subnet/link for a DHCP client request
that it is relaying but needs the subnet/link specification to be
different from the IP address the DHCP server should use when
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
communicating with the relay agent. It contains an IP address that
can identify the client's subnet/link. Also, assuming there is
knowledge of the network topology, it also reveals client location.
A DHCP relay includes a Subscriber-ID option [RFC3993] to associate
some provider-specific information with clients' DHCP messages that
is independent of the physical network configuration through which
the subscriber is connected. The "subscriber-id" assigned by the
provider is intended to be stable as customers connect through
different paths and as network changes occur. The Subscriber-ID is
an ASCII string that is assigned and configured by the network
provider.
4. Existing Mechanisms That Affect Privacy
This section describes deployed DHCP mechanisms that affect privacy.
4.1. DNS Updates
The Client FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) Option [RFC4702] used
along with DNS Updates [RFC2136] defines a mechanism that allows both
clients and server to insert into the DNS domain information about
clients. Both forward (A) and reverse (PTR) resource records can be
updated. This allows other nodes to conveniently refer to a host,
despite the fact that its IP address may be changing.
This mechanism exposes two important pieces of information: current
address (which can be mapped to current location) and client's
hostname. The stable hostname can then be used to correlate the
client across different network attachments even when its IP
addresses keep changing.
4.2. Allocation Strategies
A DHCP server running in typical, stateful mode is given a task of
managing one or more pools of IP addresses. When a client requests
an address, the server must pick an address out of a configured pool.
Depending on the server's implementation, various allocation
strategies are possible. Choices in this regard may have privacy
implications. Note that the constraints in DHCP and DHCPv6 are
radically different, but servers that allow allocation strategy
configuration may allow configuring them in both DHCP and DHCPv6.
Not every allocation strategy is equally suitable for DHCP and for
DHCPv6.
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
Iterative allocation: A server may choose to allocate addresses one
by one. That strategy has the benefit of being very fast, thus
being favored in deployments that prefer performance. However, it
makes the allocated addresses very predictable. Also, since the
addresses allocated tend to be clustered at the beginning of an
available pool, it makes scanning attacks much easier.
Identifier-based allocation: Some server implementations may choose
to allocate an address that is based on one of the available
identifiers, e.g., client identifier or MAC address. It is also
convenient, as a returning client is very likely to get the same
address. Those properties are convenient for system
administrators, so DHCP server implementers are often requested to
implement it. The downside of such an allocation is that the
client has a very stable IP address. That means that correlation
of activities over time, location tracking, address scanning, and
OS/vendor discovery apply. This is certainly an issue in DHCPv6,
but due to a much smaller address space it is almost never a
problem in DHCP.
Hash allocation: This is an extension of identifier-based
allocation. Instead of using the identifier directly, it is
hashed first. If the hash is implemented correctly, it removes
the flaw of disclosing the identifier, a property that eliminates
susceptibility to address scanning and OS/vendor discovery. If
the hash is poorly implemented (e.g., it can be reversed), it
introduces no improvement over identifier-based allocation.
Random allocation: A server can pick a resource randomly out of an
available pool. This allocation scheme essentially prevents
returning clients from getting the same address again. On the
other hand, it is beneficial from a privacy perspective as
addresses generated that way are not susceptible to correlation
attacks, OS/vendor discovery attacks, or identity discovery
attacks. Note that even though the address itself may be
resilient to a given attack, the client may still be susceptible
if additional information is disclosed in another way, e.g., the
client's address may be randomized, but it still can leak its MAC
address in the Client Identifier option.
Other allocation strategies may be implemented.
Given the limited size of most IPv4 public address pools, allocation
mechanisms in IPv4 may not provide much privacy protection or leak
much useful information, if misused.
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
5. Attacks
5.1. Device Type Discovery
The type of device used by the client can be guessed by the attacker
using the Vendor Class Option, the 'chaddr' field, and by parsing the
Client ID Option. All of those options may contain an
Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) that represents the device's
vendor. That knowledge can be used for device-specific vulnerability
exploitation attacks.
5.2. Operating System Discovery
The operating system running on a client can be guessed using the
Vendor Class option, the Client System Architecture Type option, or
by using fingerprinting techniques on the combination of options
requested using the Parameter Request List option.
5.3. Finding Location Information
The location information can be obtained by the attacker by many
means. The most direct way to obtain this information is by looking
into a message originating from the server that contains the Civic
Location, GeoConf, or GeoLoc options. It can also be indirectly
inferred using the Relay Agent Information option, with the remote ID
suboption, the circuit ID option (e.g., if an access circuit on an
Access Node corresponds to a civic location), or the Subscriber ID
Option (if the attacker has access to subscriber information).
5.4. Finding Previously Visited Networks
When DHCP clients connect to a network, they attempt to obtain the
same address they had used before they attached to the network. They
do this by putting the previously assigned address in the requested
IP address option. By observing these addresses, an attacker can
identify the network the client had previously visited.
5.5. Finding a Stable Identity
An attacker might use a stable identity gleaned from DHCP messages to
correlate activities of a given client on unrelated networks. The
Client FQDN option, the Subscriber ID option, and the Client ID
option can serve as long-lived identifiers of DHCP clients. The
Client FQDN option can also provide an identity that can easily be
correlated with web server activity logs.
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
5.6. Pervasive Monitoring
Pervasive monitoring [RFC7258] is widespread (and often covert)
surveillance through intrusive gathering of protocol artifacts,
including application content, or protocol metadata such as headers.
An operator who controls a nontrivial number of access points or
network segments may use obtained information about a single client
and observe the client's habits. Although users may not expect true
privacy from their operators, the information that is set up to be
monitored by users' service operators may also be gathered by an
adversary who monitors a wide range of networks and develops
correlations from that information.
5.7. Finding Client's IP Address or Hostname
Many DHCP deployments use DNS Updates [RFC4702] that put a client's
information (current IP address, client's hostname) into the DNS,
where it is easily accessible by anyone interested. Client ID is
also disclosed, albeit not in an easily accessible form (SHA-256
digest of the client-id). As SHA-256 is considered irreversible,
DHCP client ID can't be converted back to client-id. However,
SHA-256 digest can be used as a unique identifier that is accessible
by any host.
5.8. Correlation of Activities over Time
As with other identifiers, an IP address can be used to correlate the
activities of a host for at least as long as the lifetime of the
address. If that address was generated from some other, stable
identifier and that generation scheme can be deduced by an attacker,
the duration of the correlation attack extends to that of the
identifier. In many cases, its lifetime is equal to the lifetime of
the device itself.
5.9. Location Tracking
If a stable identifier is used for assigning an address and such
mapping is discovered by an attacker, it can be used for tracking a
user. In particular, both passive (a service that the client
connects to can log the client's address and draw conclusions
regarding its location and movement patterns based on the addresses
it is connecting from) and active (an attacker can send ICMP echo
requests or other probe packets to networks of suspected client
locations) methods can be used. To give a specific example, by
accessing a social portal from
tomek-laptop.coffee.somecity.com.example,
tomek-laptop.mycompany.com.example, and
tomek-laptop.myisp.example.com, the portal administrator can draw
Jiang, et al. Informational [Page 10]
RFC 7819 DHCP Privacy Considerations April 2016
conclusions about tomek-laptop's owner's current location and his
habits.
5.10. Leasequery and Bulk Leasequery
Attackers may pretend to be an access concentrator, either as a DHCP
relay agent or as a DHCP client, to obtain location information
directly from the DHCP server(s) using the DHCP leasequery [RFC4388]
mechanism.
Location information is information needed by the access concentrator
to forward traffic to a broadband-accessible host. This information
includes knowledge of the host hardware address, the port or virtual
circuit that leads to the host, and/or the hardware address of the
intervening subscriber modem.
Furthermore, the attackers may use the DHCP bulk leasequery [RFC6926]
mechanism to obtain bulk information about DHCP bindings, even
without knowing the target bindings.
Additionally, active leasequery [RFC7724] is a mechanism for
subscribing to DHCP lease update changes in near real-time. The
intent of this mechanism is to update an operator's database;
however, if the mechanism is misused, an attacker could defeat the
server's authentication mechanisms and subscribe to all updates. He
then could continue receiving updates, without any need for local
presence.
6. Security Considerations
In current practice, the client privacy and client authentication are
mutually exclusive. The client authentication procedure reveals
additional client information in the certificates and identifiers.
Full privacy for the clients may mean the clients are also anonymous
to the server and the network.
7. Privacy Considerations
This document in its entirety discusses privacy considerations in
DHCP. As such, no dedicated discussion is needed.
