CVE-2001-0376

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

SonicWALL Tele2 and SOHO firewalls with firmware 6.0.0.0 using IPSEC with IKE pre-shared keys do not support full 128-byte IKE pre-shared keys, limiting to 48-byte keys. This allows a remote attacker to perform brute force attacks on the pre-shared keys with significantly fewer resources.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to brute force attacks, which could lead to the compromise of pre-shared keys and potential access to protected resources.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the firewall firmware to a version that supports full 128-byte IKE keys to enhance the security of connections.

Original NVD description (English source)

SonicWALL Tele2 and SOHO firewalls with 6.0.0.0 firmware using IPSEC with IKE pre-shared keys do not allow for the use of full 128 byte IKE pre-shared keys, which is the intended design of the IKE pre-shared key, and only support 48 byte keys. This allows a remote attacker to brute force attack the pre-shared keys with significantly less resources than if the full 128 byte IKE pre-shared keys were used.
