Package : openswan
Vulnerability : denial of service
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2008-4190 CVE-2009-0790
Debian Bug : 496374


Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in openswan, an IPSec
implementation for linux. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:


CVE-2008-4190

Dmitry E. Oboukhov discovered that the livetest tool is using temporary
files insecurely, which could lead to a denial of service attack.


CVE-2009-0790

Gerd v. Egidy discovered that the Pluto IKE daemon in openswan is prone
to a denial of service attack via a malicious packet.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.12+dfsg-1.3+lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.6+dfsg.2-1.1+etch1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your openswan packages.
