Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in IPsec-Tools, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) The racoon daemon improperly deletes orphaned phase 1 handlers when acting as a responder. This can be exploited to cause high resource consumption via invalid packets.
2) An NULL-pointer dereference error within the "isakmp_frag_extract()" function in racoon/isakmp_frag.c can be exploited to cause a crash.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that fragmentation support is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 0.7.2.
