[FW-1] security hole isakmp



hi,

i scanned the firewall with nessus and get the following result

. List of open ports :
   o isakmp (500/udp) (Security hole found)

 . Vulnerability found on port isakmp (500/udp) :


    The remote IPSEC server seems to have a problem negotiating
    bogus IKE requests.

    An attacker may use this flaw to disable your VPN remotely

    Solution: Contact your vendor for a patch
    Risk factor:
     High

if i view the firwall log i saw that the connection to udp/500 was rejected

if i make a tcpdump i saw that the port was unreachable
12:37:48.056664 scanner.1500 > firewall: udp 0
12:37:48.056684 firewall > scanner: icmp: 213.61.74.2 udp port 500
unreachable

-does anybody know why nessus find the hole?
-is there a workaround for this problem?

thx for help
Jo
