Re: [FW-1] AW: [FW-1] security hole isakmp



Nessus is testing for a DoS vulnerability in how IKE daemons respond to
false requests for key negotiation. The nessus mailing list archives
have a good discussion on this (http://msgs.securepoint.com/nessus).
>From that thread, the plugin that checks for the vulnerability does
this:

1) if the host/network generates ICMP errors AND port 500 is closed,
the script will exit before spitting any packets out
2) if the host/network generates ICMP errors AND port 500 is open,
the script will run, then check to see if the port has closed
3) if the host/network does not generate ICMP erros AND port 500 is
closed,  the script will still run but will fail to reach the
security_hole() function.
4) if the host/network does not generate ICMP errors AND port 500 is
open, the script will run but will fail to reach the security_hole()
function

Step two is where the script actually tries to generate the bogus
traffic. If the port is closed afterwards, it assumes the DoS was
successful.
