Synopsis: Moderate: libreswan security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:2603-02
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2603.html
Issue date: 2016-11-03
CVE Names: CVE-2016-5361
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for libreswan is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (v. 7) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) – aarch64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) – x86_64
3. Description:
Libreswan is an implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the
Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both
authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build
secure tunnels through untrusted networks such as virtual private network
(VPN).
Security Fix(es):
* A traffic amplification flaw was found in the Internet Key Exchange
version 1 (IKEv1) protocol. A remote attacker could use a libreswan server
with IKEv1 enabled in a network traffic amplification denial of service
attack against other hosts on the network by sending UDP packets with a
spoofed source address to that server. (CVE-2016-5361)
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.
