Hi,

> I'll have a look what's the best approach to implement a fix.

A patch is gone into SVN, see [1]. This should fix a potential DoS
attack scenario on the pool. 
However, there is still no guarantee for this uniqueness check. A peer
can still set up multiple IKE_SAs at the same time, but subsequent
attempts will delete established SAs. The number of simultaneously set
up SAs is limited by other DoS protection mechanisms: This will limit a
potential attack to currently 5 pool addresses per client.

It might be difficult to apply the patch to older releases, as we have
done a lot of refactorings in that code. It's probably easier to wait
for 4.2.10 (next week?!).

Regards
Martin
