strongswan vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 14.10
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

strongSwan could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
– strongswan: IPsec VPN solution

Details:

Mike Daskalakis discovered that strongSwan incorrectly handled IKEv2
payloads that contained the Diffie-Hellman group 1025. A remote attacker
could use this issue to cause the IKE daemon to crash, resulting in a
denial of service.

package versions:
