An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12. 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 causes the pluto daemon to crash and restart.

The version of libreswan installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-38712 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Libreswan 3.x and 4.x before 4.12. 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 causes the     pluto daemon to crash and restart.
