This vulnerability was initially found in long-term 6.44.6, and was fixed
in stable 6.47.

2. reachable assertion failure
The ipsec process suffers from an assertion failure vulnerability. There is
a reachable assertion in the ipsec process. By sending a crafted packet, an
authenticated remote user can crash the ipsec process due to assertion
failure.

Against stable 6.46.5, the poc resulted in the following crash dump.
