UTSA-2026-016762 advisory.

    In strongSwan before 5.9.5, a malicious responder can send an EAP-Success message too early without
    actually authenticating the client and (in the case of EAP methods with mutual authentication and EAP-only
    authentication for IKEv2) even without server authentication.

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

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