Fedora Core 2 2004-132: ipsec-tools |
||

Check for the version of the ipsec-tools package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2004-132 (ipsec-tools). 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: An updated ipsec-tools package that fixes vulnerabilities in racoon (the ISAKMP daemon) is now available. When ipsec-tools receives an ISAKMP header, it will attempt to allocate sufficient memory for the entire ISAKMP message according to the header's length field. If a possible hacker crafts an ISAKMP header with a extremely large value in the length field, racoon may exceed operating system resource limits and be terminated, resulting in a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0403 to this issue.
