+ <title>FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN contain two bugs when
+ authenticating PKCS#7 certificates. This could allow an attacker to
+ authenticate with a fake certificate.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN are Open Source
+ implementations of IPsec for the Linux operating system. They are all
+ based on the discontinued FreeS/WAN project.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ All these IPsec implementations have several bugs in the
+ verify_x509cert() function, which performs certificate validation, that
+ make them vulnerable to malicious PKCS#7 wrapped objects.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ With a carefully crafted certificate payload an attacker can
+ successfully authenticate against FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan or
+ Super-FreeS/WAN, or make the daemon go into an endless loop.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+ upgrade to the latest available version.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All FreeS/WAN 1.9x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1"
+ # emerge "=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ All FreeS/WAN 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ All Openswan 1.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1"
+ # emerge "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1"</code>
+ <p>
+ All Openswan 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4"</code>
+ <p>
+ All strongSwan users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3"</code>
+ <p>
+ All Super-FreeS/WAN users should migrate to the latest stable version
+ of Openswan. Note that Portage will force a move for Super-FreeS/WAN
+ users to Openswan.
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1"
+ # emerge "=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1"</code>
