NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream strongswan-mysql package and not the strongswan-mysql package as distributed by SLES.

In stroke_socket.c in strongSwan before 5.6.3, a missing packet length check could allow a buffer underflow, which may lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service while reading from the socket.
