Debian DLA-234-1 : ipsec-tools security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 83906

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Javantea discovered a NULL pointer dereference flaw in racoon, the Internet Key Exchange daemon of ipsec-tools. A remote attacker can use this flaw to cause the IKE daemon to crash via specially crafted UDP packets, resulting in a denial of service.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected ipsec-tools, and racoon packages.
