Technical Description
A vulnerability has been identified in IPsec-tools, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is caused by an error in the IPSec key exchange server "racoon" that fails to properly validate certain requests via the "isakmp_info_recv()" [src/racoon/isakmp_inf.c] function, which could be exploited by attackers to disrupt established IPSec tunnels and create a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted packets.
