CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40617

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the revocation plugin, which uses potentially untrusted OCSP URIs and CRL distribution points (CDP) in certificates. A remote attacker can initiate the IKE_SAs and send crafted certificates that contain URIs pointing to servers under their control. As a result, a remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package strongswan to the latest version.
