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

strongSwan 4.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via an IKESAINIT message with a large number of NULL values in a Key Exchange payload, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference for the return value of the mpzexport function in the GNU Multiprecision Library (GMP).

Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Buffer overflow in the atodn function in strongSwan 2.0.0 through 4.3.4, when Opportunistic Encryption is enabled and an RSA key is being used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pluto IKE daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS TXT records. NOTE: this might be the same vulnerability as CVE-2013-2053 and CVE-2013-2054.
