Synopsis
openswan bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated openswan packages that fix an issue and enable Openswan to
pass the TAHI test suite for HMAC-SHA1-96 support are now available.
Description
Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) for Linux. IPsec 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.
These packages contain the daemons and userland tools for setting up
Openswan. They support the NETKEY/XFRM IPsec stack in the default Linux
kernel. The Openswan 2.6.x-series also supports IKEv2 as described in RFC 4309.
The TAHI Project IPv6 Ready Test Suite, Phase 2, includes an IKE version 2
test category. Support for the HMAC-SHA1-96 message digest algorithm is
required by this category and, previously, Openswan did not include such
support. With this update, HMAC-SHA1-96 supported has been added to the
openswan package. (BZ#533883)
This update fixes the following issue:
- the FIPS-140-2 standard requires cryptographic modules to provide methods
to "zeroize" (meaning: to overwrite with zeroes) all plain text secret and
private cryptographic keys and Critical Security Parameters (CSPs). With
this update, Openswan uses methods supplied by the NSS library to perform
zeroization on plain text secret and private cryptographic keys and CSPs.
All users of openswan are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
