Descriptions
The default IPSec ifup script in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 through 5 configures racoon to use aggressive IKE mode instead of main IKE mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute force attacks by sniffing an unencrypted preshared key (PSK) hash.
La secuencia de comandos por defecto IPSec ifup en Red Hat Enterprise Linux de 3 a 5 configura racoon para utilizar el modo agresivo de IKE en vez del modo principal de IKE, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de fuerza bruta husmeando una clave hash que no ha sido compartida sin encriptar (PSK).
