Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in IPsec-Tools, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to the racoon daemon not properly deleting orphaned phase 1 handlers when acting as a responder. This can be exploited to cause high resource consumption via invalid packets.
The vulnerability is reported in version 0.7.1. Other versions may also be affected.
