isakmp_sub_print in tcpdump 3.6 through 3.7.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a certain malformed ISAKMP packet to UDP port 500, which causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop.

Microsoft Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by flooding UDP port 500 (ISAKMP).

Snapgear Lite+ firewall 1.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (IPSEC crash) via a zero length packet to UDP port 500.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when handling Internet Key Exchange (IKE) messages. By sending a specially-crafted IKE packet to UDP Port 500, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the device to crash and reload.
References: [CVE-2010-0574] [XFDB-61666] [BID-43059]
A vulnerability in MikroTik Version 6.38.5 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust all available CPU via a flood of UDP packets on port 500 (used for L2TP over IPsec), preventing the affected router from accepting new connections; all devices will be disconnected from the router and all logs removed automatically.
