CVE-2023-26463

Disclosure Date: April 15, 2023
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

strongSwan 5.9.8 and 5.9.9 potentially allows remote code execution because it uses a variable named “public” for two different purposes within the same function. There is initially incorrect access control, later followed by an expired pointer dereference. One attack vector is sending an untrusted client certificate during EAP-TLS. A server is affected only if it loads plugins that implement TLS-based EAP methods (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, or EAP-TNC). This is fixed in 5.9.10.
