Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA1175] DSA-1175-1 isakmpd

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-1175-1 isakmpd

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

A flaw has been found in isakmpd, OpenBSD's implementation of the
Internet Key Exchange protocol, that caused Security Associations to be
created with a replay window of 0 when isakmpd was acting as the
responder during SA negotiation. This could permit a possible hacker to
re-inject sniffed IPsec packets, which would not be checked against the
replay counter.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 20041012-1sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 20041012-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your isakmpd package.
