"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200404-05
(ipsec-tools contains an X.509 certificates vulnerability.)

    racoon (a utility in the ipsec-tools package) does not verify digital
    signatures on Phase1 packets.  This means  that anybody holding the correct
    X.509 certificate would be able to establish a connection, even if they did
    not have the corresponding private key.
  
Impact :

    Since digital signatures are not verified by the racoon tool, an attacker may
	be able to connect to the VPN gateway and/or execute a man-in-the-middle attack.
  
Workaround :

    A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
    to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package."
