An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-1198 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1198/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1198/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-1198","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1198/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-1198","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h5v2-6q4x-m7v7","RHSA-2012:0312"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat Enterprise Linux","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Default IPSec configuration uses aggressive IKE mode, exposing preshared key hashes to remote attackers for brute force attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The default IPSec ifup script in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 through 5 configures racoon to use aggressive IKE mode instead of main IKE mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute force attacks by sniffing an unencrypted preshared key (PSK) hash.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1198","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:enterprise_linux","products":["redhat:enterprise_linux"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2008"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1199"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","fixed":["0:8.45.42-1.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"initscripts","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/initscripts","source":"RHSA-2012:0312"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","fixed":["0:8.45.42-1.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"initscripts-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/initscripts-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2012:0312"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:8.45.42-1.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"initscripts","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/initscripts","source":"RHSA-2012:0312"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:8.45.42-1.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"initscripts-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/initscripts-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2012:0312"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1197"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-03-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Red Hat JBoss RichFaces Framework Expression Language Injection","id":"CVE-2018-14667","kev_date_added":"2023-09-28","published":"2018-11-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing fixes for CVE-2021-40438 and CVE-2021-26691 in the versions of httpd, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5.0, causes a securit","id":"CVE-2021-20325","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25011","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Supply chain in redhat-upgrade-tool","id":"CVE-2014-3585","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Squid: request/response smuggling in http/1.1 and icap","id":"CVE-2023-46846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Red Hat","prefix":"RHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Default IPSec configuration uses aggressive IKE mode, exposing preshared key hashes to remote attackers for brute force attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1198/"}
