A vulnerability exists in the isakmpd
that could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The OpenBSD isakmpd
establishes security associations for encrypted and authenticated (IPsec) network traffic. It implements the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol. The ISAKMP standard specifies a “Payload Length” field within the “Generic Payload Header”. This field is populated by the sender and specifies the length in octets of the current payload, including the generic payload header. A flaw in the handling of packets with a specified length of zero could cause isakmpd
to enter an infinite loop, preempting normal operations.
This issue is reportedly similar to VU#738518.
A remote attacker could cause the isakmpd
service to become unresponsive. Subsequent IPsec-enabled communications may be disrupted as a result.

Affected
`Several bugs have been found in the ISAKMP daemon which can lead to memory
leaks and a remote denial of service condition. An attacker can craft
malformed payloads that can cause the isakmpd(8) process to stop
processing requests.
The problem is fixed in -current, 3.4-stable and 3.3-stable.
