Vulnerability Insight:
FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan and Super-FreeS/WAN contain two bugs when
authenticating PKCS#7 certificates. This could allow an attacker to
authenticate with a fake certificate.

Solution:
All FreeS/WAN 1.9x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1'
# emerge '=net-misc/freeswan-1.99-r1'

All FreeS/WAN 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1'
# emerge '>=net-misc/freeswan-2.04-r1'

All Openswan 1.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1'
# emerge '=net-misc/openswan-1.0.6_rc1'

All Openswan 2.x users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4'
# emerge '>=net-misc/openswan-2.1.4'

All strongSwan users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3'
# emerge '>=net-misc/strongswan-2.1.3'

All Super-FreeS/WAN users should migrate to the latest stable version of
Openswan. Note that Portage will force a move for Super-FreeS/WAN users to
Openswan.
