Debian: DSA-2893-1 Moderate: Openswan Remote Buffer Overflow

Two vulnerabilities were fixed in Openswan, an IKE/IPsec implementation for Linux. CVE-2013-2053 . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2893-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Yves-Alexis Perez March 31, 2014 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : openswan CVE ID : CVE-2013-2053 CVE-2013-6466 Two vulnerabilities were fixed in Openswan, an IKE/IPsec implementation for Linux. CVE-2013-2053 During an audit of Libreswan (with which Openswan shares some code), Florian Weimer found a remote buffer overflow in the atodn() function. This vulnerability can be triggered when Opportunistic Encryption (OE) is enabled and an attacker controls the PTR record of a peer IP address. Authentication is not needed to trigger the vulnerability. CVE-2013-6466 Iustina Melinte found a vulnerability in Libreswan which also applies to the Openswan code. By carefuly crafting IKEv2 packets, an attacker can make the pluto daemon derefeences non-received IKEv2 payload, leading to the daemon crash. Authentication is not needed to trigger the vulnerability. Patches were originally written to fix the vulnerabilities in Libreswan, and have been ported to Openswan by Paul Wouters from the Libreswan Project. Since the Openswan package is not maintained anymore in the Debian distribution and is not available in testing and unstable suites, it is recommended for IKE/IPsec users to switch to a supported implementation like strongSwan. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.28+dfsg-5+squeeze2. For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.37-3.1. We recommend that you upgrade your openswan packages.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: openswan security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0185-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014:0185.html Issue date: 2014-02-18 CVE Names: CVE-2013-6466 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated openswan packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2.

Description: Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). IPsec uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the wayOpenswan's IKE daemon processed IKEv2 payloads. A remote attacker could send specially crafted IKEv2 payloads that, when processed, would lead to a denial of service (daemon crash), possibly causing existing VPN connections to be dropped. (CVE-2013-6466) All openswan users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. 4.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux: RHSA-2013:0827-01 Important Buffer Overflow Fix

Updated openswan packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: openswan security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:0827-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013:0827.html Issue date: 2013-05-15 CVE Names: CVE-2013-2053 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated openswan packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). IPsec uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. When using Opportunistic Encryption, Openswan's pluto IKE daemonrequests DNS TXT records to obtain public RSA keys of itself and its peers. A buffer overflow flaw was found in Openswan. If Opportunistic Encryption were enabled ("oe=yes" in "/etc/ipsec.conf") and an RSA key configured, an attacker able to cause a system to perform a DNS lookup for an attacker-controlled domain containing malicious records (such as by sending an email that triggers a DKIM or SPF DNS record lookup) could cause Openswan's pluto IKE daemon to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges. With "oe=yes" but no RSA key configured, the issue can only be triggered by attackers on the local network who can control the reverse DNS entry of the target system. Opportunistic Encryption is disabled by default. (CVE-2013-2053) This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team. All users of openswan are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct this issue. After installing this update, the ipsec service will be restarted automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5.
