Synopsis

The remote VxWorks device is potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the remote device is Wind River VxWorks 7 and it's affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to a buffer over-read on IKE. An unauthenticated, remote attacer can exploit this, by sending a specially crafted IKE packet, to cause IKE and services dependant on IKE to stop working.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the OS version.

Solution

Contact the device vendor to obtain the appropriate update.
