Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.702903
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2903-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'strongswan' package(s) announced via the DSA-2903-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'strongswan' package(s) announced via the DSA-2903-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in charon, the daemon handling IKEv2 in strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite. The state machine handling the security association (IKE_SA) handled some state transitions incorrectly.

An attacker can trigger the vulnerability by rekeying an unestablished IKE_SA during the initiation itself. This will trick the IKE_SA state to established without the need to provide any valid credential.

Vulnerable setups include those actively initiating IKEv2 IKE_SA (like 'clients' or 'roadwarriors') but also during re-authentication (which can be initiated by the responder). Installations using IKEv1 (pluto daemon in strongSwan 4 and earlier, and IKEv1 code in charon 5.x) is not affected.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 4.4.1-5.5.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.2-1.5+deb7u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 5.1.2-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'strongswan' package(s) on Debian 6, Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
