Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU75709

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30570

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of unsupported algorithms (such as DH2) when processing IKEv1 Aggressive Mode packets in libreswan pluto daemon. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted IKEv1 Aggressive Mode packet to the daemon and crash it.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the libreswan pluto daemon is configured explicitly with "aggressive=yes" (or "aggrmode=yes") and accepts IKEv1 packets.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
