Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-14 14:41 Pacific
A use-after-free flaw was found in the way Openswan's pluto IKE daemon used cryptographic helpers. A remote, authenticated attacker could send a specially-crafted IKE packet that would crash the pluto daemon. This issue only affected SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) systems that have the cryptographic helpers enabled.
Affected Packages:
openswan
Issue Correction:
Run yum update openswan to update your system.
