"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has libreswan packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - pluto in Libreswan before 4.11 allows a denial of service (responder SPI mishandling and daemon crash) via
    unauthenticated IKEv1 Aggressive Mode packets. The earliest affected version is 3.28. (CVE-2023-30570)

  - Buffer overflow in the atodn function in libreswan 3.0 and 3.1, when Opportunistic Encryption is enabled
    and an RSA key is being used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pluto IKE daemon
    crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS TXT records. NOTE: this might be the same
    vulnerability as CVE-2013-2053 and CVE-2013-2054. (CVE-2013-2052)

  - Libreswan 3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a small length value and
    (1) no version or (2) an invalid major number in an IKE packet. (CVE-2013-4564)

  - Libreswan 3.7 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. (CVE-2013-6467)

  - libreswan 3.9 through 3.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon restart) via an
    IKEv1 packet with (1) unassigned bits set in the IPSEC DOI value or (2) the next payload value set to
    ISAKMP_NEXT_SAK. (CVE-2015-3204)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
