                 NetBSD Security Advisory 2004-001
                 =================================

Topic:          Insufficient packet validation in racoon IKE daemon

Version:        NetBSD-current: source prior to January 17, 2004
                NetBSD 1.6.2:   not affected (fixed)
                NetBSD 1.6.1:   affected
                NetBSD 1.6:     affected
                NetBSD-1.5.*:   not affected (does not ship with racoon)
                pkgsrc:         packages prior to racoon-20040116a

Severity:       IPsec SA/ISAKMP SA may be deleted remotely by malicious
                third party

Fixed:          NetBSD-current:         January 17, 2004
                NetBSD-1.6 branch:      February 10, 2004 (1.6.2 includes the 
fix)
                pkgsrc:                 racoon-20040116a corrects this issue


Abstract
========

NetBSD ships with the racoon(8) IKE (Internet Key Exchange) daemon.
A vulnerability was found in the code for packet validation of
"informational exchange" messages.

By sending specifically-crafted IKE packets, a malicious party could
remove an IPsec SA (those visible via setkey(8)) and/or ISAKMP SA
(secret communication channel used for communication between IKE
daemons) on the victim node.

Exploits for this issue have been circulated publicly.

Solutions and Workarounds
=========================


If you are not using IPSec, your system is not affected.

If you are not running the racoon(8) IKE daemon, your system is not
affected.  However, we recomend you upgrade racoon so that you will
not experience problems if you enable it later.

If you are currently running racoon(8), you need to stop the old
instance of racoon(8) and run the new one.

The following instructions describe how to upgrade your racoon(8)
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of racoon(8).

* NetBSD-current:

        Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2004-01-16
        should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2004-01-17 or later.

        The following directories need to be updated from the
        netbsd-current CVS branch (aka HEAD):
                crypto/dist/kame/racoon
                usr.sbin/racoon

        To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install racoon:
                # cd src
                # cvs update -d -P crypto/dist/kame/racoon usr.sbin/racoon
                # cd usr.sbin/racoon

                # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
                # make USETOOLS=no install


* NetBSD 1.6, 1.6.1:

        The binary distributions of NetBSD 1.6 and 1.6.1 are vulnerable.

        * Binary patch:

        To apply the binary patch, perform the following steps,
        replacing ARCH with the NetBSD architecture you are running
        (i.e. i386):

        
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/security/patches/SA2004-001-racoon/netbsd-1-6/ARCH-racoon.tgz
        cd / && tar xzvpf /path/to/ARCH-racoon.tgz

        The tar file will extract a new copy of:
                /usr/sbin/racoon

        Then restart racoon:
        /etc/rc.d/racoon restart


        * Updating from sources:

        Systems running NetBSD 1.6 sources dated from before
        2004-02-09 should be upgraded from NetBSD 1.6 sources dated
        2004-02-10 or later.

        NetBSD 1.6.2 will include the fix.

        The following directories need to be updated from the
        netbsd-1-6 CVS branch:
                crypto/dist/kame/racoon
                usr.sbin/racoon

        To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install racoon:

                # cd src
                # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-6 crypto/dist/kame/racoon \
                        usr.sbin/racoon
                # cd usr.sbin/racoon

                # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
                # make USETOOLS=no install


* pkgsrc:

        If your system has racoon pkgsrc dated before 20040116a, uninstall
        and upgrade to racoon-20040116a or higher.
