The version of libreswan installed on the remote host is prior to 3.25-4.8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2299 advisory.

    A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Libreswan package. When an IKEv1 ISAKMP SA     Informational Exchange packet contains a Delete/Notify payload followed by further Notifies that act on     the ISAKMP SA, such as a duplicated Delete/Notify message, a NULL pointer dereference on the deleted state     occurs. This flaw allows a malicious client or attacker to send a malformed IKEv1 Delete/Notify packet,     causing a crash and restarting the libreswan pluto daemon. When sent continuously, this could lead to a     denial of service attack. (CVE-2023-38712)

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the libreswan-4.12-1.el9 build changelog.

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv2 Child SA REKEY packet contains an invalid     IPsec protocol ID number of 0 or 1, an error notify INVALID_SPI is sent back. The notify payload's     protocol ID is copied from the incoming packet, but the code that verifies outgoing packets fails an     assertion that the protocol ID must be ESP (2) or AH(3) and causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart.
    NOTE: the earliest affected version is 3.20. (CVE-2023-38710)

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv1 Quick Mode connection configured with     ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR receives an IDcr payload with ID_FQDN, a NULL pointer dereference causes a     crash and restart of the pluto daemon. NOTE: the earliest affected version is 4.6. (CVE-2023-38711)

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12. When an IKEv1 ISAKMP SA Informational     Exchange packet contains a Delete/Notify payload followed by further Notifies that act on the ISAKMP SA,     such as a duplicated Delete/Notify message, a NULL pointer dereference on the deleted state causes the     pluto daemon to crash and restart. (CVE-2023-38712)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of libreswan installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-38712 advisory.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0008 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-23009:
    Libreswan 4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assert failure and daemon restart) via     crafted TS payload with an incorrect selector length.

    CVE-2023-30570:
    pluto in Libreswan before 4.11 allows a denial of service (responder SPI mishandling and daemon crash) via     unauthenticated IKEv1 Aggressive Mode packets. The earliest affected version is 3.28.

    CVE-2023-38710:
    An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv2 Child SA REKEY packet contains an invalid     IPsec protocol ID number of 0 or 1, an error notify INVALID_SPI is sent back. The notify payload's     protocol ID is copied from the incoming packet, but the code that verifies outgoing packets fails an     assertion that the protocol ID must be ESP (2) or AH(3) and causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart.
    NOTE: the earliest affected version is 3.20.

    CVE-2023-38711:
    An issue was discovered in Libreswan before 4.12. When an IKEv1 Quick Mode connection configured with     ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR receives an IDcr payload with ID_FQDN, a NULL pointer dereference causes a     crash and restart of the pluto daemon. NOTE: the earliest affected version is 4.6.

    CVE-2023-38712:
    An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12.
