It is used in conjunction with the IPsec functionality in the Linux kernel and includes racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon. A denial of service flaw, as well as multiple memory leak flaws, have been found in the ipsec-tools racoon daemon

  that could cause the racoon daemon to crash. (CVE-2009-1574)

  Multiple memory leak flaws were found in the ipsec-tools racoon daemon. If
  a remote attacker is able to make multiple connection attempts to the
  racoon daemon, it was possible to cause the racoon daemon to consume all
  available memory. (CVE-2009-1632)
