Description

The leaks patched in the mentioned patch can happen only when phase 1 is completed. That means the attacker would have to be authenticated to be able to make the leaks happen. Any guess on what "some configurations" could mean from the upstream announcement? I am not sure about that - it seems to me that in almost any configuration the responder of the IKE negotiation is vulnerable. But as I said in the comment #2 this problem is in the Phase 2 exchange so that means the attacker has to be already authenticated. Created attachment 314117 [details]
