      "value": "Libreswan, via the function RSA_authenticate_hash_signature_pkcs1_1_5_rsa(), did not correctly verify the DER encoding of the ASN.1 digest when the IKEv2 AUTH payload was encoded using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017). A remote attacker can use a variation on the Bleichenbacher attack to forge the AUTH payload when small public exponents are used (e.g., e=3), leading to impersonation. Additionally, a remote attacker, by encoding a shorter than expected hash in the AUTH payload, could trigger an assertion leading to denial-of-service. The daemon aborts and restarts; continued exploitation causes sustained denial of service. Remote code execution is not possible. X.509 certificate verifications of the remote IKE peer are not affected."

      "value": "Libreswan, a través de la función RSA_authenticate_hash_signature_pkcs1_1_5_rsa(), no verificó correctamente la codificación DER del resumen ASN.1 cuando la carga útil AUTH de IKEv2 fue codificada usando RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017). Un atacante remoto puede usar una variación del ataque Bleichenbacher para falsificar la carga útil AUTH cuando se usan exponentes públicos pequeños (p. ej., e=3), lo que lleva a la suplantación de identidad. Además, un atacante remoto, al codificar un hash más corto de lo esperado en la carga útil AUTH, podría activar una aserción que llevaría a la denegación de servicio. El demonio se aborta y se reinicia; la explotación continuada causa una denegación de servicio sostenida. La ejecución remota de código no es posible. Las verificaciones de certificados X.509 del par IKE remoto no se ven afectadas."
