Marc,

If we remove the default exemptions for Kerberos & RSVP from IPSEC with
the "NoDefaultExempt" registry key, this still passes IKE. Therefore is
IKE vulnerable to the ASN bug?

It would appear that it is indeed.  The Internet Key Exchange protocol
is defined in RFC 2409, and section 5.2, "Phase 1 Authentication With
Public Key Encryption", states that "RSA encryption MUST be encoded in
PKCS #1 format".  The PKCS #1 standard always uses ASN.1 to encode
the keys and signature schemes used.

G'luck,
Peter

If this sentence didn't exist, somebody would have invented it.
