CVE-2008-3651
Memory leak in racoon/proposal.c in the racoon daemon in ipsec-tools before 0.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via invalid proposals.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
