  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Researchers at the United States of America National Security Agency (NSA) identified a denial of services vulnerability in strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite.

Once the in-memory certificate cache is full it tries to randomly replace lesser used entries. Depending on the generated random value, this could lead to an integer overflow that results in a double-dereference and a call using out-of-bounds memory that most likely leads to a segmentation fault.

Remote code execution can't be ruled out completely, but attackers have no control over the dereferenced memory, so it seems unlikely at this point.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 5.5.1-4+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.
