[GLSA-200406-20] FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling |
||
FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200406-20 (FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling) All these IPsec implementations have several bugs in the verify_x509cert() function, which performs certificate validation, that make them vulnerable to malicious PKCS#7 wrapped objects. Impact With a carefully crafted certificate payload a possible hacker can successfully authenticate against FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan or Super-FreeS/WAN, or make the daemon go into an endless loop. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version. References: http://lists.openswan.org/pipermail/dev/2004-June/000370.html Solution: All FreeS/WAN 1.9x users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1" # emerge "=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1" All FreeS/WAN 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1" # emerge ">=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1" All Openswan 1.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1" # emerge "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1" All Openswan 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4" # emerge ">=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4" All strongSwan users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3" # emerge ">=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3" All Super-FreeS/WAN users should migrate to the latest stable version of Openswan. Note that Portage will force a move for Super-FreeS/WAN users to Openswan. # emerge sync # emerge -pv "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1" # emerge "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1" Network Security Threat Level: Medium Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
