HIGH 7.5EPSS 0.42%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In strongSwan before 6.0.7, identity parsing/cloning is mishandled. Parsed EAP-Identities that result in an empty but non-NULL encoding are not correctly cloned and trigger a double-free once the duplicates are destroyed.
