Routing tables can be modified through RIP protocol, potentially leading to network connection hijacking

Code
#
# (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc.
#

# routed from OpenBSD or Linux rejects routes that are not sent by a neighbour
# 
# The real test is done by rip_poison.nasl - this was split into two scripts
# as the CVSS scores are very different on a LAN and a WAN.
