openswan is vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) attacks. The vulnerability exists through a buffer overflow issue in the atodn function in Openswan before 2.6.39, when Opportunistic Encryption is enabled and an RSA key is being used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pluto IKE daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS TXT records.
