The version of libreswan installed on the remote host is prior to 3.25-4.8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2299 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12. When an IKEv1 ISAKMP SA Informational Exchange packet contains a Delete/Notify payload followed by further Notifies that act on the ISAKMP SA, such as a duplicated Delete/Notify message, a NULL pointer dereference on the deleted state causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart. (CVE-2023-38712)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
