OpenBSD isakmpd Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
An attacker can delete security associations and policies from IPSec VPN's by sending a malformed UDP ISAKMP packet to a vulnerable server. The malformed packet contains payloads for both setting up a new tunnel and deleting a tunnel. Isakmpd improperly acts upon the delete payload and terminates the associations and policies relating to the tunnel. This can result in the destruction of security associations, effectively eliminating the VPN connection between gateways and denying service to legitimate users of the VPN.
Mitigation:
Apply the appropriate patch or upgrade to a non-vulnerable version.
