+  <description>
+    <p>
+    <i>racoon</i> (a utility in the ipsec-tools package) does not verify digital
+    signatures on Phase1 packets.  This means  that anybody holding the correct
+    X.509 certificate would be able to establish a connection, even if they did
+    not have the corresponding private key.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    Since digital signatures are not verified by the <i>racoon</i> tool, an attacker may
+	be able to connect to the VPN gateway and/or execute a man-in-the-middle attack.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
+    to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    ipsec-tools users should upgrade to version 0.2.5 or later:
+    </p>
