Category:General
Title:Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Aggressive Mode Information Disclosure Vulnerability (CVE-2002-1623)
Summary:Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol enabled services running; in / supporting the aggressive mode are prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol enabled services running
in / supporting the aggressive mode are prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The design of the IKE protocol, when using Aggressive Mode for
shared secret authentication (PSK), does not encrypt initiator or responder identities during
negotiation.

Please see the references for more technical / background info.

Vulnerability Impact:
The flaw may allow remote attackers to determine valid usernames
by monitoring responses before the password is supplied or sniffing.

Affected Software/OS:
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol enabled services running
in / supporting the aggressive mode with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication enabled might be
affected.

Solution:
Use an alternative mode and authentication method.

The IKE protocol provides many options for both connection mode and authentication method, several
combinations provide identity protection. For example, both Main Mode with shared secret
authentication and Aggressive Mode with public key authentication provide identity protection.

CVSS Score:
5.0
