Ubuntu 16.04 ESM : strongSwan vulnerability (USN-5651-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 165669

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5651-2 advisory.

USN-5651-1 fixed a vulnerability in strongSwan. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

Lahav Schlesinger discovered that strongSwan incorrectly handled certain OCSP URIs and

and CRL distribution points (CDP) in certificates. A remote attacker could

possibly use this issue to initiate IKE_SAs and send crafted certificates

that contain URIs pointing to servers under their control, which can lead

to a denial-of-service attack.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
