SUSE SLES11 Security Update : ipsec-tools (SUSE-SU-2015:1367-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 85376

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

ipsec-tools was updated to fix one security issue and a bug.

This security issue was fixed :

- CVE-2015-4047: racoon/gssapi.c in ipsec-tools allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and IKE daemon crash) via a series of crafted UDP requests (bsc#931989).

Due to a packaging error, the racoonf.conf config file was symlinked to /usr/share/doc/packages/ipsec-tools/examples/racoon/samples/racoon.con f on some processor platforms, edits might have happened only in this example file.

Before upgrading, please check if /etc/racoon/racoon.conf is a symlink to this example file and backup the content. (bsc#939810)

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