Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that racoon, the ipsec-tools IKE daemon, incorrectly handled certain UDP packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause racoon to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
