A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Xelerance Openswan 3.7. Affected is an unknown functionality of the component IKEv2 Packet Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-399. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:
Openswan 2.6.39 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and IKE daemon restart) via IKEv2 packets that lack expected payloads.
The weakness was published 01/15/2014 by Iustina Melinte as CVE-2013-6467.txt as not defined advisory (Website). The advisory is available at libreswan.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2013-6466 since 11/04/2013. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The advisory points out:
Iustina Melinte used a custom IKE fuzzer to test libreswan. By withholding or renumbering certain IKEv2 payloads, the pluto IKE daemon crashes while trying to dereference a NULL pointer on the presumably received payload. Configurations that only allow IKEv1 are not vulnerable.
The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 72561 (CentOS 5 / 6 : openswan (CESA-2014:0185)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CentOS Local Security Checks.
