Race condition in the libreswan.spec files for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora packages in libreswan 3.6 has unspecified impact and attack vectors, involving the /var/tmp/libreswan-nss-pwd temporary file.

IKEv1 Denial of Service via RSA-SHA1 (PKCS#1 Version 1.5 Encrypted) authentication payload

IKEv2 Denial of Service via RSA-SHA1 (PKCS#1 RSASSA-PKCS1-v15) authentication payload

An invalidly formatted IKEv2 fragment causes the Libreswan pluto daemon to crash and restart. Continued exploitation would cause a denial of service. The function reassemblev2incomingfragments() would ignore unknown outer payloads but still store these in a fixed size array msgdigest.digest[PAYLIMIT]. An off-by-one error in the assertion PASSERT(logger, md->digestroof < elemsof(md->digest)) causes the daemon to abort. No remote code execution is possible. Any configuration that allows IKEv2 connections that do not set fragmentation=no are vulnerable. IKEv1 is not affected.

An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv1 Quick Mode connection configured with IDIPV4ADDR or IDIPV6ADDR receives an IDcr payload with IDFQDN a NULL pointer dereference causes a crash and restart of the pluto daemon. NOTE: the earliest affected version is 4.6.

An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv2 Child SA REKEY packet contains an invalid IPsec protocol ID number of 0 or 1 an error notify INVALIDSPI is sent back. The notify payload's protocol ID is copied from the incoming packet but the code that verifies outgoing packets fails an assertion that the protocol ID must be ESP (2) or AH(3) and causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart. NOTE: the earliest affected version is 3.20.

An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12. When an IKEv1 ISAKMP SA Informational Exchange packet contains a Delete/Notify payload followed by further Notifies that act on the ISAKMP SA such as a duplicated Delete/Notify message a NULL pointer dereference on the deleted state causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart.

IKEv1 default AH/ESP responder can cause libreswan to abort and restart

Buffer overflow in the atodn function in libreswan 3.0 and 3.1, when Opportunistic Encryption is enabled and an RSA key is being used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pluto IKE daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS TXT records. NOTE: this might be the same vulnerability as CVE-2013-2053 and CVE-2013-2054.

The ikev2parentinI1outR1 function in pluto/ikev2parent.c in libreswan before 3.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (restart) via an IKEv2 I1 notification without a KE payload.

Libreswan 3.7 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.

Libreswan contains a reachable assertion in the X.509 certificate processing path when operating in FIPS mode. After calling CERTExtractPublicKey(), the returned public key is asserted to be non-NULL, although the function may legitimately return NULL if public key extraction fails (for example, when processing a certificate with an RSA exponent of zero). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a specially crafted CERT payload during an IKEv1 or IKEv2 exchange to trigger the assertion and terminate the daemon, resulting in a denial of service. The issue is only reachable when Libreswan is running in FIPS mode and certificate-based authentication is in use with at least one CA certificate loaded in the Libreswan NSS database; deployments using only Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication without loaded CA certificates are not affected.
