That advisory has information and a patch regarding a buffer overflow
in openswan.  It is possible that a remote attacker could execute
arbitrary code as the user running the pluto deamon.
Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2005-01-27 11:15:41 UTC 
It's not _that_ bad, because openswan was compiled with -pie, so it is
very unlikely, that code could be executed. DOS attacks could happen
though.
