<affected>
<package name="net-firewall/ipsec-tools" auto="yes" arch="amd64">
<unaffected range="ge">0.2.5</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="le">0.2.4</vulnerable>

<p>
From http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/ :
</p>
<p>
"IPsec-Tools is a port of KAME's IPsec utilities to the Linux-2.6
IPsec implementation."
</p>

<description>
<p>
<i>racoon</i> (a utility in the ipsec-tools package) does not verify digital
signatures on Phase1 packets. This means that anybody holding the correct
X.509 certificate would be able to establish a connection, even if they did
not have the corresponding private key.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
Since digital signatures are not verified by the <i>racoon</i> tool, an attacker may
be able to connect to the VPN gateway and/or execute a man-in-the-middle attack.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
ipsec-tools users should upgrade to version 0.2.5 or later:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.2.5"
# emerge ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.2.5"</code>
