CVE-2013-2944
strongSwan 4.3.5 through 5.0.3, when using the OpenSSL plugin for ECDSA signature verification, allows remote attackers to authenticate as other users via an invalid signature.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.59%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
