"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-035:01 advisory.

    Openswan is a free implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and
    uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you
    to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted net is
    encrypted by the ipsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The
    resulting tunnel is a virtual private network or VPN.
    This package contains the daemons and userland tools for setting up Openswan. It supports the NETKEY/XFRM
    IPsec kernel stack that exists in the default Linux kernel.
    Openswan 2.6.x also supports IKEv2 (RFC4306)
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2013-6466
    Openswan 2.6.39 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference
    and IKE daemon restart) via IKEv2 packets that lack expected payloads.
    Fixed bugs:
     Previously, when the signature of a Certificate Revocation List started with a zero, the verification
    failed. This has been fixed.
     Fixed the order of the load_crls() and load_authcerts_from_nss() functions in the plutomain.c file so
    that the IPsec daemon (pluto) no longer fails during startup and loads the CRLs successfully.
     It is now possible to establish an IKE tunnel when the xauth option is enabled and the
    leftmodecfgclient option is disabled in the /etc/ipsec.conf file. This previously did not work and has
    been fied.
     Previously, Openswan could not establish L2TP connection with devices using NAT-Traversal. This has been
    fixed and support for passing traffic selectors to an XFRM IPsec stack for transport mode is now complete.
     Openswan can now use SHA2 algorithms in FIPS mode.
    Enhancements:
     Added support for Internet Key Exchage (IKE) fragmentation.
     Added support for the Internet Key Exchage version 1 (IKEv1) INITIAL-CONTACT IPsec message, as per
    RFC2407 Section 4.6.3.3.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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