Synopsis
========
racoon provided as part of IPsec-Tools fails do proper authentication.
Background
==========
IPsec-Tools is a port of KAME's implementation of the IPsec utilities.
It contains a collection of network monitoring tools, including racoon,
ping, and ping6.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-firewall/ipsec-tools < 0.3.3 >= 0.3.3
Description
===========
The KAME IKE daemon racoon is used to authenticate peers during Phase 1
when using either preshared keys, GSS-API, or RSA signatures. When
using RSA signatures racoon validates the X.509 certificate but not the
RSA signature.
Impact
======
By sending a valid and trusted X.509 certificate and any private key an
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform man-in-the-middle
attacks and initiate unauthorized connections.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version.
Resolution
==========
All IPsec-Tools users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.3"
# emerge ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.3"
