Synopsis: Moderate: ipsec-tools security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:232-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-232.html
Issue date: 2005-03-23
Updated on: 2005-03-23
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0398
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
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 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

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
