Synopsis
IPsec-Tools' racoon is affected by a remote Denial of Service
vulnerability.
2.
Impact Information
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.
Description
Two Denial of Service vulnerabilities have been reported in racoon:
-
The vendor reported a memory leak in racoon/proposal.c that can be
triggered via invalid proposals (CVE-2008-3651).
-
Krzysztof Piotr Oledzk reported that src/racoon/handler.c does not
remove an "orphaned ph1" (phase 1) handle when it has been initiated
remotely (CVE-2008-3652).
Impact
An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of
Service.
