CVE-2013-2053

Desbordamiento de buffer en la función atodn en Openswan anteriores a v2.6.39, cuando está activada Opportunistic Encryptiony se usa una clave RSA, permite a los atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del demonio IKE)y posiblemente ejecutar código a través de registros DNS TXT. Nota: esta podría ser la misma vulnerabilidad que CVE-2013-2052 y CVE-2013-2054.

Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security and Internet Key Exchange. IPsec uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. When using Opportunistic Encryption, Openswan's pluto IKE daemon requests DNS TXT records to obtain public RSA keys of itself and its peers. A buffer overflow flaw was found in Openswan. If Opportunistic Encryption were enabled and an RSA key configured, an attacker able to cause a system to perform a DNS lookup for an attacker-controlled domain containing malicious records could cause Openswan's pluto IKE daemon to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges. With "oe=yes" but no RSA key configured, the issue can only be triggered by attackers on the local network who can control the reverse DNS entry of the target system. Opportunistic Encryption is disabled by default.
