OVERVIEW:

       A number of vulnerabilities have been identified in Ingate Firewall
       prior to version 4.7.1 and Ingate SIParator prior to version 4.7.1.


IMPACT:

       Ingate has released the following information regarding these 
       vulnerabilities:

       "When an IPsec tunnel having the remote network set to 'Remote/private 
       address' is allowed to configure the unit, and that tunnel comes up, 
       the entire world can configure the unit.[Tracking IDs: 4091, 4127]" [1]

       "IDS/IPS no longer cause SIP packets to bypass logging and IPsec spoof 
       protection and blacklisting. [Tracking ID: 3706]" [1]

       "Server certificates with DSA and ECDSA keys are now properly checked.
       CVE: CVE-2008-5077. [Tracking ID: 4119]" [1]

       "SNMPv3 now properly validates the HMAC of the authentication.
       Previously, it was possible to bypass the authentication.
       CERT: VU#878044. CVE: CVE-2008-0960.  [Tracking ID: 3854]" [1]

       "If multiple default gateways are used, and the policy for packets
       from unused gateways is set to 'reject', the spoofing protection
       may not work.  Other problems with the rules may also be present.
       After the upgrade, it is no longer possible to set this policy to
       'reject'.  [Tracking ID: 3943]" [1]

       Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the SIP module, which
       can be exploited via specially created packets have also been 
       reported. [1]


MITIGATION:

       To address these vulnerabilities Ingate has released updates to these
       products which are available from the vendor's website. [2]
