Security Fix(es):
libreswan: An assertion failure flaw was found in the Libreswan package that occurs when processing IKEv2 REKEY requests. When an IKEv2 Child SA REKEY packet contains an invalid IPsec protocol ID number of 0 or 1, an error notification INVALID_SPI is sent back. The notify payload's protocol ID is copied from the incoming packet, but the code that verifies outgoing packets fails an assertion that the protocol ID must be ESP (2) or AH(3). This flaw allows a malicious client or attacker to send a malformed IKEv2 REKEY packet, causing a crash and restarting the libreswan pluto daemon. When sent continuously, this could lead to a denial of service attack.(CVE-2023-38710)
libreswan: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in Libreswan when processing IKEv1 Quick Mode requests. When an IKEv1 Quick Mode connection configured with ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR receives an IDcr payload with ID_FQDN, it triggers a NULL pointer dereference error. This flaw allows a malicious client or attacker to send a malformed IKEv1 Quick Mode packet, causing a crash and restart of the libreswan pluto daemon. When sent continuously, this issue leads to a denial of service attack.(CVE-2023-38711)
libreswan: A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Libreswan package. When an IKEv1 ISAKMP SA Informational Exchange packet contains a Delete/Notify payload followed by further Notifies that act on the ISAKMP SA, such as a duplicated Delete/Notify message, a NULL pointer dereference on the deleted state occurs. This flaw allows a malicious client or attacker to send a malformed IKEv1 Delete/Notify packet, causing a crash and restarting the libreswan pluto daemon. When sent continuously, this could lead to a denial of service attack.(CVE-2023-38712)
libreswan: A flaw was found in Libreswan, where it was identified to contain an assertion failure issue in the compute_proto_keymat() function. The vulnerability can be exploited when an IKEv1 connection is loaded with an AH/ESP default setting when no esp= line is present in the connection. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to send the bogus AES-GMAC proposal request, triggering the issue and causing Libreswan to crash and restart. When this connection is automatically added on startup using the auto= keyword, it can cause repeated crashes, leading to a denial of service. No remote code execution is possible.(CVE-2024-3652)
libreswan: bugfix
graphviz: Graphviz 2.36.0 through 9.x before 10.0.1 has an out-of-bounds read via a crafted config6a file. NOTE: exploitability may be uncommon because this file is typically owned by root.(CVE-2023-46045)
graphviz: bugfix
