+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Openswan:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Gerd v. Egidy reported a NULL pointer dereference in the Dead Peer
+ Detection of the pluto IKE daemon as included in Openswan
+ (CVE-2009-0790).</li>
+ <li>The Orange Labs vulnerability research team
+ discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the ASN.1 parser
+ (CVE-2009-2185).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending
+ specially crafted R_U_THERE or R_U_THERE_ACK packets, or a specially
+ crafted X.509 certificate containing a malicious Relative Distinguished
+ Name (RDN), UTCTIME string or GENERALIZEDTIME string to cause a Denial
+ of Service of the pluto IKE daemon.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Openswan users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.4.15"</code>
