Description:
The Libreswan Project was notified of an issue causing libreswan to
restart under some IKEv2 retransmit scenarios when a connection is
configured to use PreSharedKeys (authby=secret) and the connection
cannot find a matching configured secret. When such a connection is
automatically added on startup using the auto= keyword, it can cause
repeated crashes leading to a Denial of Service. (CVE-2024-2357)
