It was discovered that there was a denial of service vulnerability in the Strongswan Virtual Private Network (VPN) software.
Specific RSA signatures passed to the gmp plugin for verification could cause a NULL pointer dereference. Potential triggers are signatures in certificates, but also signatures used during IKE authentication.
For more details, please see :
<https://www.strongswan.org/blog/2017/08/14/strongswan-vulnerability-( cve-2017-11185).html>
For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in strongswan version 4.5.2-1.5+deb7u10.
We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
