Detail
| Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in openswan, an IPSec implementation for linux. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2008-4190 Dmitry E. Oboukhov discovered that the livetest tool is using temporary files insecurely, which could lead to a denial of service attack. CVE-2009-0790 Gerd v. Egidy discovered that the Pluto IKE daemon in openswan is prone to a denial of service attack via a malicious packet. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.12+dfsg-1.3+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.6+dfsg.2-1.1+etch1. For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your openswan packages. |

| Title: | RHSA-2009:0402 -- openswan security update (Important) | ||
| Description: | Updated openswan packages that fix various security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). IPsec uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted network is encrypted by the IPsec gateway machine, and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network (VPN). | ||
