  <title>FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling</title>
  <synopsis>
    FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN contain two bugs when
    authenticating PKCS#7 certificates. This could allow an attacker to
    authenticate with a fake certificate.

    <p>
    FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN are Open Source
    implementations of IPsec for the Linux operating system. They are all
    based on the discontinued FreeS/WAN project.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    All these IPsec implementations have several bugs in the
    verify_x509cert() function, which performs certificate validation, that
    make them vulnerable to malicious PKCS#7 wrapped objects.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    With a carefully crafted certificate payload an attacker can
    successfully authenticate against FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan or
    Super-FreeS/WAN, or make the daemon go into an endless loop.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
    upgrade to the latest available version.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All FreeS/WAN 1.9x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1&quot;
    # emerge &quot;=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All FreeS/WAN 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1&quot;
    # emerge &quot;&gt;=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Openswan 1.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;
    # emerge &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Openswan 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4&quot;
    # emerge &quot;&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All strongSwan users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3&quot;
    # emerge &quot;&gt;=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Super-FreeS/WAN users should migrate to the latest stable version
    of Openswan. Note that Portage will force a move for Super-FreeS/WAN
    users to Openswan.
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;
    # emerge &quot;=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1&quot;</code>
