IKE: ISAKMP Invalid Negotiation Traffic

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against ISAKMP IKE components. Attackers can send maliciously crafted packets to a router running a VPN node and cause a denial-of-service condition in the VPN.

Extended Description

Various Cisco IOS, PIX Firewall, Firewall Services Module (FWSM), VPN 3000 Series Concentrator, and MDS Series SanOS releases are prone to denial of service attacks. These issues are due to security flaws in Cisco's IPSec implementation. The vulnerabilities may be triggered by malformed IKE traffic. Successful attacks will cause most affected devices to restart. For Cisco MDS Series devices, this is limited to causing the IKE process to restart.
