| Description: | The ipsec-tools package is used in conjunction with the IPsec functionality in the linux kernel and includes racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon.
A denial of service flaw was found in the ipsec-tools racoon daemon. It was possible for a remote attacker, with knowledge of an existing ipsec tunnel, to terminate the ipsec connection between two machines. (CVE-2007-1841)
Users of ipsec-tools should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.
