Description TEJ RATHI 2026-06-29 11:38:44 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

The Libreswan Project was notified of an issue when it receives an invalidly formatted IKEv2 fragment causing the server to crash and restart. A continued stream of such packets would cause a denial
of service.

Severity : Medium
Vulnerable versions : 4.6 - 5.3
Not vulnerable : 5.3.1 or later

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
