    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite.

    CVE-2026-78123

        An undefined memory access vulnerability in the openssl plugin when
        handling PKCS#7 containers, that can result in a crash.

    CVE-2026-78124

        A memory leak in the openssl plugin during the enumeration of
        certificates in PKCS#7 containers.

    CVE-2026-78126

        A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability in the eap-aka plugin when
        processing an unexpected AKA-Synchronization-Failure message, that
        can result in a crash.

    CVE-2026-78127

        Memory leak in libcharon message stringification during the logging
        of IKE messages, that can result in a denial of service via memory
        exhaustion.

    CVE-2026-78129

        An unbounded iteration in libstrongswan when decrypting encrypted
        PKCS#7 containers, that can result in a denial of service.

    CVE-2026-78130

        A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability in the x509 plugin during
        the verification of X.509 attribute certificates, that can lead to a
        denial of service.

    CVE-2026-78131

        A memory leak in the x509 plugin during the parsing of identities in
        X.509 attribute certificates, that can lead to a denial of service.

    CVE-2026-78132

        An infinite loop vulnerability in the x509 plugin when parsing the
        ietfAttrSyntax ASN.1 type in X.509 attribute certificates, that can
        lead to a denial of service.

    CVE-2026-78134

        A vulnerability in the eap-peap and eap-ttls plugins in the
        propagation of authentication details from inner EAP methods.
        Missing inner EAP authentication details can result in incorrect
        identity binding and potential authorization bypass.

    CVE-2026-78135

        A vulnerability in libcharon when handling CREATE_CHILD_SA requests
        on unestablished IKE SAs, that can result in the creation of a
        usable Child SA before authentication completes.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    5.9.8-5+deb12u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.
