libreswan: denial of service

Package(s):libreswan CVE #(s):CVE-2016-3071
Created:April 13, 2016 Updated:April 19, 2016
Description: From the Libreswan advisory:

The Libreswan Project found a bug in the default proposal set for IKEv2. This code, introduced in version 3.16, includes the AES_XCBC integrity algorithm. It wrongly assumes that the NSS cryptographic library supports this algorithm. As a result, the IKE daemon crashes and restarts when the aes_xcbc transform is selected. No remote code execution is possible.
