An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in charon, the daemon handling IKEv2 in strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite. The state machine handling the security association (IKE_SA) handled some state transitions incorrectly.
An attacker can trigger the vulnerability by rekeying an unestablished IKE_SA during the initiation itself. This will trick the IKE_SA state toβestablishedβ without the need to provide any valid credential.
Vulnerable setups include those actively initiating IKEv2 IKE_SA (like βclientsβ or βroadwarriorsβ) but also during re-authentication (which can be initiated by the responder). Installations using IKEv1 (pluto daemon in strongSwan 4 and earlier, and IKEv1 code in charon 5.x) is not affected.
