MiracleLinux 3 : ipsec-tools-0.6.5-8.1AXS3 (AXSA:2008-273:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 284125

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2008-273:01 advisory.

 The ipsec-tools package is used in conjunction with the IPsec functionality in the Linux kernel and includes racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon.
 CVE-2008-3651:
 Memory leak in racoon/proposal.c in the racoon daemon in ipsec-tools before 0.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via invalid proposals.
 CVE-2008-3652:
 src/racoon/handler.c in racoon in ipsec-tools does not remove an orphaned ph1 (phase 1) handle when it has been initiated remotely, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption).

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

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

Solution

Update the affected ipsec-tools package.
