Detail

The asn1_length function in strongSwan 2.8 before 2.8.11, 4.2 before 4.2.17, and 4.3 before 4.3.3 does not properly handle X.509 certificates with crafted Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs), which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pluto IKE daemon crash) via malformed ASN.1 data. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-2185.

Title: DSA-1899 strongswan -- several vulnerabilities
Description: Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in strongswan, an implementation of the IPSEC and IKE protocols. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: The charon daemon can crash when processing certain crafted IKEv2 packets. (The old stable distribution (etch) was not affected by these two problems because it lacks IKEv2 support.) The pluto daemon could crash when processing a crafted X.509 certificate.
