Description

Versa has confirmed a buffer overflow vulnerability in the IPsec implementation on VOS, aka Versa FlexVNF.  Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Description When a maliciously crafted IKE Auth packet is sent to VOS, the vsmd process crashes, thereby resulting in a Denial of Service. An attacker can create a Denial-of-Service attack on the VOS appliances by crafting a malicious IKE Auth packet and sending it to the WAN interfaces on the VOS. During the IKE Authentication phase, if the IKE SA negotiation fails, and the size of the Remote ID is larger than the buffer size used to process the Remote ID, it will result in a crash of the vsmd process on the VOS appliance. What is impacted? VOS nodes configured with IPsec VPN profiles of type controller-staging-sdwan or remote-access-server using a WAN interface as the IPsec endpoint are vulnerable. (IPsec profiles configured with an overlay interface as the IPsec endpoint are not affected.) This configuration typically applies to all Controllers, Hub Controllers, and SSE Gateways. Additionally, site-to-site VPN profiles configured without a peer IP address, hostname, or FQDN are also vulnerable. What is not impacted? The VOS nodes listed above are not vulnerable if they are not accessible from the Internet.

Executive Summary

This is a buffer overflow vulnerability in Versa's IPsec implementation on VOS (Versa FlexVNF). When a specially crafted IKE Auth packet is sent to VOS, it causes the vsmd process to crash, leading to a Denial of Service. The issue occurs during IKE Authentication when the Remote ID size exceeds the buffer size, triggering the crash.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires monitoring for crashes in the vsmd process during IKE Auth packet processing. Check logs for vsmd crashes or IPsec VPN failures. Monitor WAN interface traffic for malformed IKE Auth packets with unusually large Remote ID fields. Use network monitoring tools to inspect IKE negotiation failures.

Impact Analysis

An attacker can exploit this to crash VOS appliances, causing a Denial of Service. This affects VOS nodes configured with IPsec VPN profiles like controller-staging-sdwan, remote-access-server, or site-to-site VPN without a peer address. Controllers, Hub Controllers, and SSE Gateways are vulnerable if accessible from the Internet.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability does not directly impact compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or similar standards as it is a technical flaw in IPsec implementation causing Denial of Service. However, if exploited, it could disrupt secure communications, potentially affecting data protection measures required by these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update VOS to the latest patched version. Disable IPsec VPN profiles of type controller-staging-sdwan or remote-access-server on WAN interfaces if not in use. Restrict WAN interface access to trusted sources only. Review and update firewall rules to block malformed IKE Auth packets.
