The version of libreswan installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-38711 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv1 Quick Mode connection configured with     ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR receives an IDcr payload with ID_FQDN, a NULL pointer dereference causes a     crash and restart of the pluto daemon. NOTE: the earliest affected version is 4.6. (CVE-2023-38711)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the libreswan-4.12-1.el9 build changelog.

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv2 Child SA REKEY packet contains an invalid     IPsec protocol ID number of 0 or 1, an error notify INVALID_SPI is sent back. The notify payload's     protocol ID is copied from the incoming packet, but the code that verifies outgoing packets fails an     assertion that the protocol ID must be ESP (2) or AH(3) and causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart.
    NOTE: the earliest affected version is 3.20. (CVE-2023-38710)

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv1 Quick Mode connection configured with     ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR receives an IDcr payload with ID_FQDN, a NULL pointer dereference causes a     crash and restart of the pluto daemon. NOTE: the earliest affected version is 4.6. (CVE-2023-38711)

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12. When an IKEv1 ISAKMP SA Informational     Exchange packet contains a Delete/Notify payload followed by further Notifies that act on the ISAKMP SA,     such as a duplicated Delete/Notify message, a NULL pointer dereference on the deleted state causes the     pluto daemon to crash and restart. (CVE-2023-38712)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:6549 advisory.

    Libreswan is an implementation of IPsec and IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and     uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you     to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks such as virtual private network (VPN).

    Security Fix(es):

    * libreswan: Invalid IKEv2 REKEY proposal causes restart (CVE-2023-38710)

    * libreswan: Invalid IKEv1 Quick Mode ID causes restart (CVE-2023-38711)

    * libreswan: Invalid IKEv1 repeat IKE SA delete causes crash and restart (CVE-2023-38712)
