CVE-2005-4570

HIGH
7.8NVD

Summary

generated automatically from NVD data

The IKEv1 implementations in Fortinet FortiOS (2.50, 2.80, 3.0), FortiClient 2.0 and FortiManager (2.80, 3.0) mishandle IKE packets that carry invalid values for certain IPSec attributes. A remote attacker can use such packets to terminate a process, causing a denial of service until it is automatically restarted; the issue was demonstrated with the PROTOS ISAKMP Test Suite for IKEv1. NVD notes it is unclear which of CVE-2005-3666, CVE-2005-3667 or CVE-2005-3668 this overlaps with, and rates it 7.8 (HIGH, CVSS v2.0).
