Detail

Problem Description:

An updated ipsec-tools package that fixes a bug in parsing of ISAKMP headers is now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The ipsec-tools package is used in conjunction with the IPsec functionality in the linux kernel. The ipsec-tools package includes:

- - setkey, a program to directly manipulate policies and SAs - - racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon

A bug was found in the way the racoon daemon handled incoming ISAKMP requests. It is possible that an attacker could crash the racoon daemon by sending a specially crafted ISAKMP packet. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0398 to this issue.

Additionally, the following issues have been fixed: - - racoon mishandled restarts in the presence of stale administration sockets. - - on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, racoon and setkey did not properly set up
forward policies, which prevented tunnels from working.

Users of ipsec-tools should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches, and is not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

145531 - EMBARGOED CAN-2005-0398 multiple issues with racoon 145535 - EMBARGOED CAN-2005-0398 multiple issues with racoon 148950 - racoon unable to start with stale socket /tmp/.racoon 150179 - ipsec/racoon/setkey does not properly forward packets to vpn peer
