KAME Project Information for VU#886601

Date Notified:2002-09-24
Date Updated:
Statement Date:
Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

Though it is true that, with aggressive mode, identification data will be transmitted in clear, identification data can be anything - it is just a string. It doesn't necessarily reflect any of user accounts on a system.

For our implementation, the identification data is just a string, and has no relationship whatsoever with UNIX accounts or other sensitive data. Also, the shared secret used for shared secret authentication is totally separate from UNIX passwords. (of course, if a user chooses to configure identification string/shared secret to be equal to UNIX account name/password, it can be done)

So the severity really depends on how a user configures our program.
