CVE-2016-10396

ipsec-tools: Parsing and storing ISAKMP fragments in malicious order can exhaust resources

Published Jul 6, 2017 CVSS 3.0 · 7.5 High EPSS 2.9% KEV · Not listed
Description
The racoon daemon in IPsec-Tools 0.8.2 contains a remotely exploitable computational-complexity attack when parsing and storing ISAKMP fragments. The implementation permits a remote attacker to exhaust computational resources on the remote endpoint by repeatedly sending ISAKMP fragment packets in a particular order such that the worst-case computational complexity is realized in the algorithm utilized to determine if reassembly of the fragments can take place.
