Thanks, Mike, for taking the time to send this along - it is sincerely
appreciated.

To close the loop - we were able to find a PoC at CariNet, Inc. We spoke
with Zachary Wikholm, their head of security - they were aware of the
issue, and had already taken steps to block the source of the traffic.
Based on evidence, this was not a malicious attempt to exploit the
vulnerability on the ASA - but just one of the many scanning projects
going on these days, looking for IKE speakers.

FWIW, the engagement and level of support we got from CariNet, Inc. has
been outstanding. Also thanks to the nsp-sec community (including those
that unicasted) for their help and suppport on this matter.

We will be updating the public advisory with this information, so
customers are aware of it.

Thanks,
Dario
