Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Openswan versions 2.6.24 through 2.6.28
Description
The issue affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. It can be exploited remotely by an authenticated attacker. Specifically, in Openswan 2.6.25 through 2.6.28, the
xauth.c file in the client allows remote authenticated gateways to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the cisco dns info or cisco domain info data in a packet.Recommendations
For Openswan versions 2.6.24 through 2.6.28, consider disabling the vulnerable
xauth.c function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the cisco dns info and cisco domain info data in packets to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.OS Command Injection
