<title>FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling</title>
<synopsis>
FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN contain two bugs when
authenticating PKCS#7 certificates. This could allow an attacker to
authenticate with a fake certificate.

<p>
FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN are Open Source
implementations of IPsec for the Linux operating system. They are all
based on the discontinued FreeS/WAN project.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
All these IPsec implementations have several bugs in the
verify_x509cert() function, which performs certificate validation, that
make them vulnerable to malicious PKCS#7 wrapped objects.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
With a carefully crafted certificate payload an attacker can
successfully authenticate against FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan or
Super-FreeS/WAN, or make the daemon go into an endless loop.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All FreeS/WAN 1.9x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1&quot;
# emerge &quot;=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1&quot;</code>
<p>
All FreeS/WAN 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1&quot;
# emerge &quot;&gt;=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1&quot;</code>
<p>
All Openswan 1.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;
# emerge &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;</code>
<p>
All Openswan 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4&quot;
# emerge &quot;&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4&quot;</code>
<p>
All strongSwan users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3&quot;
# emerge &quot;&gt;=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3&quot;</code>
<p>
All Super-FreeS/WAN users should migrate to the latest stable version
of Openswan. Note that Portage will force a move for Super-FreeS/WAN
users to Openswan.
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;
# emerge &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;</code>
