- In the eap-mschapv2 plugin (client-side) in strongSwan before 6.0.3, a malicious EAP-MSCHAPv2 server can
send a crafted message of size 6 through 8, and cause an integer underflow that potentially results in a
heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2025-62291)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
