-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-7423 2009-07-11 02:39:58 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : openswan Product : Fedora 10 Version : 2.6.21 Release : 2.fc10 URL : http://www.openswan.org/ Summary : Openswan IPSEC implementation Description : Openswan is a free implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted net is encrypted by the ipsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network or VPN. This package contains the daemons and userland tools for setting up Openswan. It optionally also builds the Openswan KLIPS IPsec stack that is an alternative for the NETKEY/XFRM IPsec stack that exists in the default Linux kernel. Openswan 2.6.x also supports IKEv2 (RFC4309) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jul 6 2009 Avesh Agarwal <[email protected]> - 2.6.21-2 - Openswan ASN.1 parser vulnerability (CVE-2009-2185) * Mon Mar 30 2009 Avesh Agarwal <[email protected]> - 2.6.21-1 - new upstream release - Fix for CVE-2009-0790 DPD crasher - Fix remaining SADB_EXT_MAX -> K_SADB_EXT_MAX entries - Fix ipsec setup --status not showing amount of tunnels with netkey * Wed Dec 17 2008 Avesh Agarwal <[email protected]> - 2.6.19-1 - new upstream release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #507362 - CVE-2009-2185 Openswan ASN.1 parser vulnerability https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507362 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
