CVE-2024-3652

Se notificó a Libreswan Project sobre un problema que provocaba que libreswan se reiniciara al usar IKEv1 sin especificar una línea esp=. Cuando el par solicita AES-GMAC, el controlador de propuestas predeterminado de libreswan provoca un error de aserción, falla y se reinicia. Las conexiones IKEv2 no se ven afectadas.

A flaw was found in Libreswan, where it was identified to contain an assertion failure issue in the compute_proto_keymat() function. The vulnerability can be exploited when an IKEv1 connection is loaded with an AH/ESP default setting when no esp= line is present in the connection. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to send the bogus AES-GMAC proposal request, triggering the issue and causing Libreswan to crash and restart. When this connection is automatically added on startup using the auto= keyword, it can cause repeated crashes, leading to a denial of service. No remote code execution is possible.
