Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50552
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:069 (ipsec-tools)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to ipsec-tools
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:069.

A vulnerability in racoon prior to version 20040408a would allow a
remote attacker to cause a DoS (memory consumption) via an ISAKMP
packet with a large length field.

Another vulnerability in racoon was discovered where, when using RSA
signatures, racoon would validate the X.509 certificate but would not
validate the signature. This can be exploited by an attacker sending
a valid and trusted X.509 certificate and any private key. Using this,
they could perform a man-in-the-middle attack and initiate an
unauthorized connection. This has been fixed in ipsec-tools 0.3.3.

The updated packages contain patches backported from 0.3.3 to correct
the problem.

Affected versions: 10.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
