>
> racoon provided as part of IPsec-Tools fails do proper authentication.
>
> Background
> ==========
>
> IPsec-Tools is a port of KAME's implementation of the IPsec utilities.
> It contains a collection of network monitoring tools, including racoon,
> ping, and ping6.
>
> Affected packages

>
> Description
> ===========
>
> The KAME IKE daemon racoon is used to authenticate peers during Phase 1
> when using either preshared keys, GSS-API, or RSA signatures. When
> using RSA signatures racoon validates the X.509 certificate but not the
> RSA signature.
>
> Impact
> ======
>
> By sending a valid and trusted X.509 certificate and any private key an
> attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform man-in-the-middle
> attacks and initiate unauthorized connections.
>
> Workaround
> ==========
>
> There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
> upgrade to the latest available version.
>
> Resolution
> ==========
>
> All IPsec-Tools users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
>
> # emerge sync
>
> # emerge -pv ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.3"
> # emerge ">=net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.3.3"
