IPsec-Tools: authentication bug in racoon Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200406-17 (IPsec-Tools: authentication bug in racoon) The KAME IKE daemon racoon is used to authenticate peers during Phase 1 when using either preshared keys, GSS-API, or RSA signatures. When using RSA signatures racoon validates the X.509 certificate but not the RSA signature. Impact By sending a valid and trusted X.509 certificate and any private key an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and initiate unauthorized connections. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version. References: http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/x509sig.html Solution: All IPsec-Tools users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.3" # emerge ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.3" Network Security Threat Level: Medium Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
