RedHat: Moderate: ipsec-tools security update RHSA-2007:0342-01
Summary
Summary
The ipsec-tools package is used in conjunction with the IPsec functionality in the linux kernel and includes racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon. A denial of service flaw was found in the ipsec-tools racoon daemon. It was possible for a remote attacker, with knowledge of an existing ipsec tunnel, to terminate the ipsec connection between two machines. (CVE-2007-1841) Users of ipsec-tools should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.
