Tracker summary

CVE-2016-10396 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (ipsec-tools), 20 status rows across 20 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, eoan, focal, groovy, hirsute, impish, jammy, mantic, noble, oracular, plucky, questing, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): DNE 12, released 4, ignored 2, needed 1, needs-triage 1.

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.
