IV. Solution This issue is resolved in Contivity VPN Client for
Windows V5.01_030 Obviously this can't be fixed by changing the client software. The full advisory makes it clear that an attacker willing to reverse engineer the proprietary hash used to obscure usernames in Nortel's software could still exploit this vulnerability. Interestingly, the advisory claims that the leakage is inherent in the aggressive IKE protocol. Does that mean all other VPN servers using aggressive IKE leak too? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com
