Package : strongswan
Version : 5.2.1-6+deb8u7
CVE ID : CVE-2018-16151 CVE-2018-16152
Sze Yiu Chau and his team from Purdue University and The University of
Iowa found several security issues in the gmp plugin for strongSwan,
an IKE/IPsec suite.
CVE-2018-16151
The OID parser in the ASN.1 code in gmp allows any number of random
bytes after a valid OID.
CVE-2018-16152
The algorithmIdentifier parser in the ASN.1 code in gmp doesn't
enforce a NULL value for the optional parameter which is not used
with any PKCS#1 algorithm.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
5.2.1-6+deb8u7.
We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.
