NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openswan package and not the openswan package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Openswan 2.6.29 through 2.6.35 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and pluto IKE daemon crash) via an ISAKMP message with an invalid KEY_LENGTH attribute, which is not properly handled by the error handling function.
