CVE-2016-5361

IKEv1 protocol is vulnerable to DoS amplification attack

Published Jun 16, 2016 CVSS 3.0 · 7.5 High EPSS 2.7% KEV · Not listed
Description
programs/pluto/ikev1.c in libreswan before 3.17 retransmits in initial-responder states, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via a spoofed UDP packet. NOTE: the original behavior complies with the IKEv1 protocol, but has a required security update from the libreswan vendor; as of 2016-06-10, it is expected that several other IKEv1 implementations will have vendor-required security updates, with separate CVE IDs assigned to each.
