Detailsinfo

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. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 350784 (Amazon Linux Security Advisory for openswan: AL2012-2015-047).

Upgrading to version 3.8 eliminates this vulnerability. It is possible to mitigate the problem by applying the configuration setting ikev2=never. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (90524), Tenable (72561), SecurityFocus (BID 65155†), OSVDB (102579†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-43429†). If you want to get best quality of vulnerability data, you may have to visit VulDB.
