If Opportunistic Encryption were enabled ('oe=yes' in '/etc/ipsec.conf') and an RSA key configured, an attacker able to cause a system to perform a DNS lookup for an attacker-controlled domain containing malicious records (such as by sending an email that triggers a DKIM or SPF DNS record lookup) could cause Openswan's pluto IKE daemon to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges. With 'oe=yes' but no RSA key configured, the issue can only be triggered by attackers on the local network who can control the reverse DNS entry of the target system.
