Summary

Stack-based buffer overflow in the get_internal_addresses function in the pluto application for Openswan 1.x before 1.0.9, and Openswan 2.x before 2.3.0, when compiled with XAUTH and PAM enabled, allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization is the possibility of remote code execution by an authenticated attacker, which could lead to system compromise and breach of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
