Tobias Brunner found an authentication bypass vulnerability in strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite

Summary

Tobias Brunner found an authentication bypass vulnerability in
strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite.

Due to insufficient validation of its local state the server
implementation of the EAP-MSCHAPv2 protocol in the eap-mschapv2 plugin
can be tricked into successfully concluding the authentication without
providing valid credentials.

It's possible to recognize such attacks by looking at the server logs.
The following log message would be seen during the client
authentication:

EAP method EAP_MSCHAPV2 succeeded, no MSK established

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 4.5.2-1.5+deb7u8.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
