The US Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT at www.us-cert.gov), the Computer Emergency Response Team of Finland (CERT-FI at www.ficora.fi/englanti/tietoturva/cert.htm), and the National Information Security Co-Ordination Centre (NISCC at niscc.gov.uk) have issued advisories regarding multiple vulnerabilities in the Internet Key Exchange v1 (IKEv1) protocol.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in IKEv1. An attacker could potentially exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial-of-service condition, or cause an IKEv1 implementation to behave in an unstable/unpredictable manner. These vulnerabilities were discovered using the PROTOS Test Tool developed by Oulu University Secure Programming Group (OUSPG). Certain Avaya products utilize IKEv1, and are therefore vulnerable.
