Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU67813
Risk: Medium
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
DescriptionThe 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.
Update the affected package strongswan to the latest version.
