The state machine handling the security association (IKE_SA) handled some state transitions incorrectly. An attacker can trigger the vulnerability by rekeying an unestablished IKE_SA during the initiation itself. This will trick the IKE_SA state to 'established' without the need to provide any valid credential. Vulnerable setups include those actively initiating IKEv2 IKE_SA (like â€clients†or “roadwarriorsâ€) but also during re-authentication (which can be initiated by the responder). Installations using IKEv1 (pluto daemon in strongSwan 4 and earlier, and IKEv1 code in charon 5.x) is not affected. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 4.4.1-5.5. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.2-1.5+deb7u3. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 5.1.2-4. We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.
