Section 5.1 says:

   The mechanism described in this document is vulnerable to a denial-
   of-service (DoS) attack through flooding a client with bogus
   FORCERENEW messages.  The calculations involved in authenticating the
   bogus FORECERENEW messages may overwhelm the device on which the
   client is running.

It should say:

   The mechanism described in this document is vulnerable to a denial-
   of-service (DoS) attack through flooding a client with bogus
   FORCERENEW messages.  The calculations involved in authenticating the
   bogus FORCERENEW messages may overwhelm the device on which the
   client is running.

Notes:

Spelling of "FORECERENEW" is incorrect. It should be "FORCERENEW"
