Libreswan 4.2-4.5 - Denial of Service via Crafted IKEv1 Packet

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Libreswan 4.2 through 4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted IKEv1 packet because pluto/ikev1.c wrongly expects that a state object exists. This is fixed in 4.6.
