Creation of a Child SA Pre-Authentication

AnalysisAI

Pre-authentication Child SA creation in an IKEv2/IPsec implementation reported via Ubuntu allows a network attacker to establish a Child Security Association before the IKE authentication phase completes. In the IKEv2 protocol (RFC 7296), Child SAs should only be negotiated after mutual authentication of the IKE SA; bypassing this ordering can undermine the confidentiality and integrity guarantees of the protected traffic tunnels. …
