<title>ipsec-tools and iputils contain a remote DoS vulnerability</title>
<synopsis>
racoon, which is included in the ipsec-tools and iputils packages in
Portage, does not check the length of ISAKMP headers. Attackers may be able
to craft an ISAKMP header of sufficient length to consume all available
system resoources, causing a Denial of Service.

"IPsec-Tools is a port of KAME's IPsec utilities to the Linux-2.6 IPsec
implementation."
</p>
<p>
iputils is a collection of network monitoring tools, including racoon, ping
and ping6.

<description>
<p>
When racoon receives an ISAKMP header, it allocates memory based on the
length of the header field. Thus, an attacker may be able to cause a Denial
of Services by creating a header that is large enough to consume all
available system resources.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
This vulnerability may allow an attacker to remotely cause a Denial of
Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised

# emerge "&gt;=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.1"</code>
<p>
