I understand that there are security vulnerabilities associated with the use of this routing protocol. Can anyone please provide me with specific examples of these vulnerabilities so that I may take appropriate corrective action.
Many thanks

Example - RIPv1 has no authentication support therefore routing updates containing false info can be injected into the routing tables without being authenticated first ie. anybody could direct them at a router, and can make packets take routes that they want - may bypass access-lists etc. I think RIPv2 supports auth. Anyway, that is a practical example.
