  the untrusted network is encrypted by the IPsec gateway machine, and
  decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The resulting
  tunnel is a virtual private network (VPN).

  Multiple insufficient input validation flaws were found in the way
  Openswan's pluto IKE daemon processed some fields of X.509 certificates. A
  remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted X.509 certificate that
  would crash the pluto daemon. (CVE-2009-2185)

  All users of openswan are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
  which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. After installing
  this update, the ipsec service will be restarted automatically.");
