Section 2.6 says:
B = k*v + g^b % N
It should say:
B = ( k*v + g^b ) % N
Notes:
The customary binding is that + has lower priority than % and so the default reading of the expression would be
B = k*v + ( g^b % N )
That is inconsistent with the existence of PAD(B) and the size of B in the test vectors, so the context hints at proper brackets, but this may still lead to implementation errors (of which I actually ran into an example).
Paul Wouters (AD): This errata is correct, but note that this RFC is applicable only for TLS < 1.3. For TLS 1.3, one needs to use a PAKE as replacement, such as those defined in RFC8492. As such, this errata is left as Verified as there won't be a document update for this document.

Section 2.1 says:
The version of SRP used here is sometimes referred to as "SRP-6" [SRP-6].
It should say:
The version of SRP used here is sometimes referred to as "SRP-6a" [SRP-6a]. [SRP-6a]: Wu, T., "SRP Protocol Design", circa 2005, http://srp.stanford.edu/design.html
Notes:
The protocol described uses a non-constant k, which is an innovation of SRP-6a -- never published formally in a technical report (until this RFC) and dating to ~2005 if we go by the libsrp version history. Actual [SRP-6] of 2002 uses a constant k = 3.
Reference to the [SRP-6] text is still valuable for rationale, but is not accurate. Confusion between these two versions is harmful and may impeded interoperability.
