strongSwan/Openswan DoS Vulnerability (Jun 2009). Error in 'ASN.1' parser in pluto/asn1.c, libstrongswan/asn1/asn1.c, and libstrongswan/asn1/asn1_parser.c is caused via an 'X.509' certificate with crafted Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs), a crafted UTCTIME string, or a crafted GENERALIZEDTIME string. Successful exploitation will allow attacker to cause pluto IKE daemon crash. Affected versions: Openswan: version 2.6 before 2.6.22 and 2.4 before 2.4.15, strongSwan: version 2.8 before 2.8.10, 4.2 before 4.2.16, and 4.3 before 4.3.2. Solution: Openswan: Update to version 2.6.22, 2.4.15 or later, strongSwan: Update to version 2.8.10, 4.2.16, 4.3.2 or late
