NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SA_2005_020.NASL description The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:020 (ipsec-tools). Racoon is a ISAKMP key management daemon used in IPsec setups. Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team audited the daemon and found that it handles certain ISAKMP messages in a slightly wrong way, so that remote attackers can crash it via malformed ISAKMP packages. This update fixes this problem. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CVE-2005-0398. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 17671 published 2005-04-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/17671 title SUSE-SA:2005:020: ipsec-tools NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2005-216.NASL description This update fixes a potential DoS in parsing ISAKMP headers in racoon. (CVE-2005-0398) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 18314 published 2005-05-19 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/18314 title Fedora Core 2 : ipsec-tools-0.5-2.fc2 (2005-216) NASL family Denial of Service NASL id RACOON_ISAKMP_DOS.NASL description The remote IPSEC server seems to have a problem negotiating malformed ISAKMP packets. An attacker may use this flaw to crash the remote host repeatedly and disable your VPN remotely. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 17655 published 2005-03-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/17655 title ipsec-tools KAME racoon Daemon ISAKMP Header Parsing Remote DoS NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2005-232.NASL description An updated ipsec-tools package that fixes a bug in parsing of ISAKMP headers is now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The ipsec-tools package is used in conjunction with the IPsec functionality in the linux kernel. The ipsec-tools package includes : - setkey, a program to directly manipulate policies and SAs - racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon A bug was found in the way the racoon daemon handled incoming ISAKMP requests. It is possible that an attacker could crash the racoon daemon by sending a specially crafted ISAKMP packet. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0398 to this issue. Additionally, the following issues have been fixed: - racoon mishandled restarts in the presence of stale administration sockets. - on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, racoon and setkey did not properly set up forward policies, which prevented tunnels from working. Users of ipsec-tools should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches, and is not vulnerable to these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 17622 published 2005-03-25 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/17622 title RHEL 3 / 4 : ipsec-tools (RHSA-2005:232) NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_3B260179E464460DBF9FD5CDA6204020.NASL description Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the racoon ISAKMP daemon could be crashed with a maliciously crafted UDP packet.

By sending specially crafted ISAKMP packets, a remote attacker could trigger a buffer overflow which caused racoon to crash. This update does not introduce any source code changes affecting the ipsec-tools package.
