Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes the following security issues :

- denial-of-service vulnerability, which can be triggered by an IKEv2 Key Exchange payload, that contains the Diffie-Hellman group 1025 (bsc#910491,CVE-2014-9221).

- Applied an upstream patch reverting to store algorithms in the registration order again as ordering them by identifier caused weaker algorithms to be proposed first by default (bsc#897512).

Solution

Update the affected strongswan packages.
