CVE-2022-4967

strongSwan versions 5.9.2 through 5.9.5 are affected by authorization bypass through improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CWE-297). When certificates are used to authenticate clients in TLS-based EAP methods, the IKE or EAP identity supplied by a client is not enforced to be contained in the client's certificate. So clients can authenticate with any trusted certificate and claim an arbitrary IKE/EAP identity as their own. This is problematic if the identity is used to make policy decisions. A fix was released in strongSwan version 5.9.6 in August 2022 (e4b4aabc4996fc61c37deab7858d07bc4d220136).

Summary
  • (es) Las versiones de strongSwan 5.9.2 a 5.9.5 se ven afectadas por la omisión de autorización debido a una validación incorrecta del certificado con una discrepancia en el host (CWE-297). Cuando se utilizan certificados para autenticar clientes en métodos EAP basados en TLS, no se exige que la identidad IKE o EAP proporcionada por un cliente esté contenida en el certificado del cliente. De modo que los clientes pueden autenticarse con cualquier certificado confiable y reclamar una identidad IKE/EAP arbitraria como propia. Esto es problemático si la identidad se utiliza para tomar decisiones políticas. Se publicó una solución en la versión 5.9.6 de strongSwan en agosto de 2022 (e4b4aabc4996fc61c37deab7858d07bc4d220136).
