Fedora Core 4: 2005-198 High: OpenSSL Vulnerability Exploit Risk

fedora
Calendar Grey June 30, 2004
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The update for strongSwan resolves a significant security issue related to authentication discrepancies for Fedora users and enhances the robustness of encryption validity checks.
When configured to use X.509 certificates to authenticate remote hosts, ipsec-tools versions 0.3.3 and earlier will not abort the key exchange if the verification fails.

Summary

This is the IPsec-Tools package. You need this package in order to

really use the IPsec functionality in the linux-2.5+ kernels. This

package builds:

- libipsec, a PFKeyV2 library

- setkey, a program to directly manipulate policies and SAs

- racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon

Update Information:

When configured to use X.509 certificates to authenticate remote hosts, ipsec-tools versions 0.3.3 and earlier will attempt to verify that host certificate, but will not abort the key exchange if the verification fails.

Users of ipsec-tools should upgrade to this updated package which contains a backported security patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.

* Fri Jun 25 2004 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> 0.2.5-4

- backport certificate validation fixes from 0.3.3 (#126568)

* Tue Jun 15 2004 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

- rebuilt
