Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120095
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2013-192)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'openswan' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-192 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'openswan' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-192 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A buffer overflow flaw was found in Openswan. If Opportunistic Encryption were enabled ('oe=yes' in '/etc/ipsec.conf') and an RSA key configured, an attacker able to cause a system to perform a DNS lookup for an attacker-controlled domain containing malicious records (such as by sending an email that triggers a DKIM or SPF DNS record lookup) could cause Openswan's pluto IKE daemon to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges. With 'oe=yes' but no RSA key configured, the issue can only be triggered by attackers on the local network who can control the reverse DNS entry of the target system. Opportunistic Encryption is disabled by default. (CVE-2013-2053)

Affected Software/OS:
'openswan' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.8
