Fedora Core 2 2004-197: 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-2004-197 (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: When configured to use X.509 certificates to authenticate remote hosts, ipsec-tools versions 0.3.3 and earlier will attempt to verify that host certificate, but will not abort the key exchange if the verification fails. Users of ipsec-tools should upgrade to this updated package which contains a backported security patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
