Descriptions
The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.5.3 does not properly validate RSA public keys before calling mpz_powm_sec, which allows remote peers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and process crash) via a crafted certificate.
El plugin gmp en strnogSwan anterior a 5.5.3 no valida adecuadamente las claves públicas RSA tras la llamada mpz_powm_sec, lo que podría permitir a peers remotos causar una denegación de servicio (excepción de punto flotante y cierre inesperado del proceso) a través de un certificado especialmente diseñado.
It was discovered that the strongSwan gmp plugin incorrectly validated RSA public keys. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause strongSwan to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
