Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) via the EAP-TTLS AVP parser. An attacker can cause the charon IKE daemon to crash by sending specially crafted AVP data with invalid length fields during IKEv2 authentication, leading to excessive memory allocation or NULL pointer dereference.
