Gentoo: GLSA-200905-03: IPSec Tools: Denial of Service
Summary
Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200905-03
https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: Normal
Title: IPSec Tools: Denial of Service
Date: May 24, 2009
Bugs: #267135
ID: 200905-03
Synopsis
=======
Multiple errors in the IPSec Tools racoon daemon might allow remote
attackers to cause a Denial of Service.
Background
=========
The IPSec Tools are a port of KAME's IPsec utilities to the Linux-2.6
IPsec implementation. They include racoon, an Internet Key Exchange
daemon for automatically keying IPsec connections.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-firewall/ipsec-tools < 0.7.2 >= 0.7.2
==========
The following vulnerabilities have been found in the racoon daemon as
shipped with IPSec Tools:
* Neil Kettle reported that racoon/isakmp_frag.c is prone to a
null-pointer dereference (CVE-2009-1574).
* Multiple memory leaks exist in (1) the eay_check_x509sign()
function in racoon/crypto_openssl.c and (2) racoon/nattraversal.c
(CVE-2009-1632).
Impact
=====
A remote attacker could send specially crafted fragmented ISAKMP
packets without a payload or exploit vectors related to X.509
certificate authentication and NAT traversal, possibly resulting in a
crash of the racoon daemon.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
All IPSec Tools users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.7.2"
