Description

Suricata doesn't detect part of IKEv2 traffic.

Some devices (Mikrotik for example) allows to start IKEv2 traffic on port 4500 (not affected by NAT Traversal enabled). In the case of UDP 4500 for IKEv2 selected, this IKEv2 traffic is not detected by Suricata. The traffic is detected as normal UDP traffic, but not recognized as IKEv2.

Mikrotik RB951G-2HNd (mipsbe), RouterOS 6.44

File IKEv2-UDP-4500-IKE_SA_INIT-2.pcap IKEv2-UDP-4500-IKE_SA_INIT-2.pcap added

Here is the pcap file with IKEv2 traffic on UDP 4500.

This traffic is not detected by the IKEv2 dashboard and also not detected with this rule:

alert ikev2 any any -> any any (msg:"IKEv2 IKE_SA_INIT Responder 21 20 22 20";content:"|21 20 22 20|"; classtype:protocol-command-decode; sid:500072; rev:1;metadata:created_at 2019_02_11, updated_at 2019_02_11;)
alert ikev2 any any -> any any (msg:"IKEv2 IKE_SA_INIT Initiator 28 20 22 08 Next Payload: Nonce";content:"|28 20 22 08|"; classtype:protocol-command-decode; sid:500073; rev:1;metadata:created_at 2019_02_11, updated_at 2019_02_11;)

When I turn the IKEv2 traffic back to the UDP 500 port, the IKEv2 traffic will be detected with IKEv2 dashboard and also will be detected with this two suricata rules.
