CVE-2010-3308
Buffer overflow in programs/pluto/xauth.c in the client in Openswan 2.6.26 through 2.6.28 might allow remote authenticated gateways to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a long cisco_banner (aka server_banner) field.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
