{"id":"SUSE-SU-2015:0281-1","summary":"Security update for strongswan","details":"This strongswan update fixes the following security and non security\nissues.\n\n- Disallow brainpool elliptic curve groups in fips mode (bnc#856322).\n- Applied an upstream fix for a denial-of-service vulnerability,\n  which can be triggered by an IKEv2 Key Exchange payload, that\n  contains the Diffie-Hellman group 1025 (bsc#910491,CVE-2014-9221).\n- Adjusted whilelist of approved algorithms in fips mode (bsc#856322).\n- Updated strongswan-hmac package description (bsc#856322).\n- Disabled explicit gpg validation; osc source_validator does it.\n- Guarded fipscheck and hmac package in the spec file for \u003e13.1.\n- Added generation of fips hmac hash files using fipshmac utility\n  and a _fipscheck script to verify binaries/libraries/plugings\n  shipped in the strongswan-hmac package.\n  With enabled fips in the kernel, the ipsec script will call it\n  before any action or in a enforced/manual 'ipsec _fipscheck' call.\n  Added config file to load openssl and kernel af-alg plugins, but\n  not all the other modules which provide further/alternative algs.\n  Applied a filter disallowing non-approved algorithms in fips mode.\n  (fate#316931,bnc#856322).\n- Fixed file list in the optional (disabled) strongswan-test package.\n- Fixed build of the strongswan built-in integrity checksum library\n  and enabled building it only on architectures tested to work.\n- Fix to use bug number 897048 instead 856322 in last changes entry.\n- Applied an upstream patch reverting to store algorithms in the\n  registration order again as ordering them by identifier caused\n  weaker algorithms to be proposed first by default (bsc#897512).","modified":"2026-03-11T05:28:18.728877Z","published":"2015-01-28T11:41:44Z","related":["CVE-2014-9221"],"upstream":["CVE-2014-9221"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2015/suse-su-20150281-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/856322"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/897048"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/897512"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/910491"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-9221"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"strongswan","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/strongswan&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Desktop%2012"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.1.3-9.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"strongswan-ipsec":"5.1.3-9.1","strongswan-libs0":"5.1.3-9.1","strongswan":"5.1.3-9.1","strongswan-doc":"5.1.3-9.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2015:0281-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"strongswan","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/strongswan&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2012"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.1.3-9.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"strongswan-doc":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan-hmac":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan-ipsec":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan-libs0":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan":"5.1.3-9.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2015:0281-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"strongswan","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/strongswan&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2012"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.1.3-9.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"strongswan-doc":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan-hmac":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan-ipsec":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan-libs0":"5.1.3-9.2","strongswan":"5.1.3-9.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2015:0281-1.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
