The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 21.04 / 21.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5111-1 advisory.

  • The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.9.4 has a remote integer overflow via a crafted certificate with an RSASSA-PSS signature. For example, this can be triggered by an unrelated self-signed CA certificate sent by an initiator. Remote code execution cannot occur. (CVE-2021-41990)

  • The in-memory certificate cache in strongSwan before 5.9.4 has a remote integer overflow upon receiving many requests with different certificates to fill the cache and later trigger the replacement of cache entries. The code attempts to select a less-often-used cache entry by means of a random number generator, but this is not done correctly. Remote code execution might be a slight possibility. (CVE-2021-41991)

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