Currently the UDP receive handler for received flooding packets (TIEs, TIREs, TIDEs) accept packets from any remote address: the IPv4 receive handlers registers 0.0.0.0 as the remote address and the IPv6 receive handler registers :: as the remote address. We know the address of the remote RIFT speaker (it was discovered from the LIEs). Security would be improved if we only accept (i.e. listen for) UDP packets from that particular address.
