The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200406-20 (FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan: Vulnerabilities in certificate handling)
All these IPsec implementations have several bugs in the verify_x509cert() function, which performs certificate validation, that make them vulnerable to malicious PKCS#7 wrapped objects.
Impact :
With a carefully crafted certificate payload an attacker can successfully authenticate against FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan or Super-FreeS/WAN, or make the daemon go into an endless loop.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version.
