Package : strongswan
CVE ID : CVE-2026-47895
Debian Bug :
Elliott Childre identified a vulnerability in strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite. The bug happens when cloning certain identities and can lead to a double-free, a daemon crash (leading to denial of service) and potentially remote code execution.
Upstream lists several mitigations:
- - Servers that don't use EAP or XAuth authentication are not vulnerable to
remote attacks.
- - Servers that use EAP authentication but delegate it to a RADIUS server and
don't request an EAP-Identity themselves are not vulnerable either. However,
note that the `eap-radius` plugin parses `Class` and `Filter-Id` attributes
as group identities if enabled, in which case a rogue RADIUS server is able
to trigger the issue.
- - Servers that use IKEv1 with XAuth are not vulnerable unless they use the
`xauth-eap` plugin.
For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
in version 5.9.8-5+deb12u5.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.0.1-6+deb13u6.
We recommend that you upgrade your strongswan packages.
