Background ========== IPsec-Tools is a port of KAME's implementation of the IPsec utilities. It contains a collection of network monitoring tools, including racoon, ping, and ping6. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-firewall/ipsec-tools < 0.6.7 >= 0.6.7 Description =========== The isakmp_info_recv() function in src/racoon/isakmp_inf.c does not always check that DELETE (ISAKMP_NPTYPE_D) and NOTIFY (ISAKMP_NPTYPE_N) packets are encrypted. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send a specially crafted IPsec message to one of the two peers during the beginning of phase 1, resulting in the termination of the IPsec exchange. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All IPsec-Tools users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.6.7" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-1841 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1841 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200705-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
