Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-03 05:37:41 UTC
The ISAKMP RFC makes it clear that informational exchanges with a  
delete payload should be encrypted.  This attack consists of sending  
an informational exchange message during the beginning of phase 1  
before the point where packets are encrypted.  If the message,  
directed at one of the 2 peers, contains the source address of the  
other peer, the correct cookie(s), a bogus hash payload, and a delete  
payload indicating that the ISAKMP SAs have been deleted, the packet  
will get through and terminate the exchange.

In the file isakmp_inf.c the function isakmp_info_recv() checks if  
the message is encrypted, and if so, decrypts it and verifies that  
the hash is present and correct.  If the message is not encrypted,  
which is allowed for some informational exchanges, then that part is  
skipped.  It then checks the state of the phase 1 negotiation and  
discards the message if its past the point where messages should be  
encrypted.  Since the attack is sent before that point, the message  
is passed.  It then calls isakmp_info_recv_d() which does not check  
that the message was encrypted.  It only checks that a hash payload  
is present, but does not check its validity, so the hash payload can  
contain anything.  The delete payload is then processed, terminating  
the attempt to establish ISAKMP SAs.

The fix is simply to check that the message was encrypted before  
calling isakmp_info_recv_d().

-dev mailed for assistance.
Comment 5 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-21 07:43:21 UTC
i'll add a update soon.
Comment 6 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-21 12:33:08 UTC
ebuild added. awaiting review from users in bug #152971 before going stable.
Comment 7 Bill Merriam 2007-04-29 16:39:02 UTC
The 0.6.7 ebuild has a DEPEND  kerberos? ( app-crypt/mit-krb5 ).  This doesn't work with Heimdal.  I believe it should read something like kerberos? ( virtual/krb5 )
Comment 8 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-30 08:25:25 UTC
Daniel please comment.

So it works with heimdal? - I got bug #176541 but I'm going to assume it compiles under other conditions.

Changed as requested.
