+ <title>ipsec-tools and iputils contain a remote DoS vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ racoon, which is included in the ipsec-tools and iputils packages in
+ Portage, does not check the length of ISAKMP headers. Attackers may be able
+ to craft an ISAKMP header of sufficient length to consume all available
+ system resoources, causing a Denial of Service.

+ "IPsec-Tools is a port of KAME's IPsec utilities to the Linux-2.6 IPsec

+ iputils is a collection of network monitoring tools, including racoon, ping

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ When racoon receives an ISAKMP header, it allocates memory based on the
+ length of the header field. Thus, an attacker may be able to cause a Denial
+ of Services by creating a header that is large enough to consume all
+ available system resources.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ This vulnerability may allow an attacker to remotely cause a Denial of
+ Service.

+ <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>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.1"</code>
+ <p>
+ iputils users should upgrade to version 021109-r3 or later:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-misc/iputils-021109-r3"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-misc/iputils-021109-r3"</code>
