Title: Microsoft Windows 2000 Internet Key Exchange DoS Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) provides authentication and encryption for IP network traffic. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol is a management protocol standard which is used with the IPSec standard. IKE contributes to the IPSec standard by providing additional features and by default listens on UDP port 500.
An issue exists in IKE which could cause a Windows 2000 host to stop responding.
If a user connects to port 500 on a Windows 2000 host running IKE, and proceeds to submit a continuous stream of packets, the target will consume all available system resources.
It should be noted that this vulnerability may be due to an underlying issue with the UDP protocol.
