- programs/pluto/ikev1.c in libreswan before 3.17 retransmits in initial-responder states, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via a spoofed UDP packet. NOTE: the
original behavior complies with the IKEv1 protocol, but has a required security update from the libreswan
vendor; as of 2016-06-10, it is expected that several other IKEv1 implementations will have vendor-
required security updates, with separate CVE IDs assigned to each. (CVE-2016-5361)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
