CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

In verifyemsapkcs1signature() in gmprsapublickey.c in the gmp plugin in strongSwan 4.x and 5.x before 5.7.0, the RSA implementation based on GMP does not reject excess data in the digestAlgorithm.parameters field during PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification. Consequently, a remote attacker can forge signatures when small public exponents are being used, which could lead to impersonation when only an RSA signature is used for IKEv2 authentication. This is a variant of CVE-2006-4790 and CVE-2014-1568.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

In verifyemsapkcs1signature() in gmprsapublickey.c in the gmp plugin in strongSwan 4.x and 5.x before 5.7.0, the RSA implementation based on GMP does not reject excess data after the encoded algorithm OID during PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification. Similar to the flaw in the same version of strongSwan regarding digestAlgorithm.parameters, a remote attacker can forge signatures when small public exponents are being used, which could lead to impersonation when only an RSA signature is used for IKEv2 authentication.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

charon/sa/tasks/childcreate.c in the charon daemon in strongSWAN before 4.3.1 switches the NULL checks for TSi and TSr payloads, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an IKEAUTH request without a (1) TSi or (2) TSr traffic selector.

Null Pointer Dereference
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

charon/sa/ikesa.c in the charon daemon in strongSWAN before 4.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via an invalid IKESAINIT request that triggers "an incomplete state," followed by a CREATECHILDSA request.
