high Nessus Plugin ID 37923

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Ralf Spenneberg discovered a serious flaw in racoon. When using Phase 1 main or aggressive mode, racoon does not verify the client's RSA signature. Any installations using X.509 authentication are strongly urged to upgrade.

Installations using pre-shared keys are believed to be unaffected.

Solution

Update the affected package.
