strongSwan 4.5.0 through 6.0.7 has Incorrect Access Control in the eap-ttls and eap-peap plugins because there can be a missing or mismatched inner EAP identity.
CVE-2026-25998 1 Strongswan 1 Strongman 2026-06-17 N/A 7.5 HIGH
strongMan is a management interface for strongSwan, an OpenSource IPsec-based VPN. When storing credentials in the database (private keys, EAP secrets), strongMan encrypts the corresponding database fields. So far it used AES in CTR mode with a global database key. Together with an initialization vector (IV), a key stream is generated to encrypt the data in the database fields. But because strongMan did not generate individual IVs, every database field was encrypted using the same key stream. An attacker that has access to the database can use this to recover the encrypted credentials. In particular, because certificates, which have to be considered public information, are also encrypted using the same mechanism, an attacker can directly recover a large chunk of the key stream, which allows them to decrypt basically all other secrets especially ECDSA private keys and EAP secrets, which are usually a lot shorter. Version 0.2.0 fixes the issue by switching to AES-GCM-SIV encryption with a random nonce and an individually derived encryption key, using HKDF, for each encrypted value. Database migrations are provided to automatically re-encrypt all credentials.
CVE-2023-41913 1 Strongswan 1 Strongswan 2026-06-17 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
strongSwan before 5.9.12 has a buffer overflow and possible unauthenticated remote code execution via a DH public value that exceeds the internal buffer in charon-tkm's DH proxy. The earliest affected version is 5.3.0. An attack can occur via a crafted IKE_SA_INIT message.
CVE-2023-26463 1 Strongswan 1 Strongswan 2026-06-17 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
strongSwan 5.9.8 and 5.9.9 potentially allows remote code execution because it uses a variable named "public" for two different purposes within the same function. There is initially incorrect access control, later followed by an expired pointer dereference. One attack vector is sending an untrusted client certificate during EAP-TLS. A server is affected only if it loads plugins that implement TLS-based EAP methods (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, or EAP-TNC). This is fixed in 5.9.10.
CVE-2022-4967 1 Strongswan 1 Strongswan 2026-06-17 N/A 7.7 HIGH
strongSwan versions 5.9.2 through 5.9.5 are affected by authorization bypass through improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CWE-297). When certificates are used to authenticate clients in TLS-based EAP methods, the IKE or EAP identity supplied by a client is not enforced to be contained in the client's certificate. So clients can authenticate with any trusted certificate and claim an arbitrary IKE/EAP identity as their own. This is problematic if the identity is used to make policy decisions. A fix was released in strongSwan version 5.9.6 in August 2022 (e4b4aabc4996fc61c37deab7858d07bc4d220136).
CVE-2022-40617 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more 2026-06-17 N/A 7.5 HIGH
strongSwan before 5.9.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service in the revocation plugin by sending a crafted end-entity (and intermediate CA) certificate that contains a CRL/OCSP URL that points to a server (under the attacker's control) that doesn't properly respond but (for example) just does nothing after the initial TCP handshake, or sends an excessive amount of application data.
CVE-2021-45079 4 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 1 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Extra Packages For Enterprise Linux and 2 more 2026-06-17 5.8 MEDIUM 9.1 CRITICAL
In strongSwan before 5.9.5, a malicious responder can send an EAP-Success message too early without actually authenticating the client and (in the case of EAP methods with mutual authentication and EAP-only authentication for IKEv2) even without server authentication.
CVE-2021-41991 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Siemens and 1 more 46 Debian Linux, Fedora, Cp 1543-1 and 43 more 2026-06-17 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The in-memory certificate cache in strongSwan before 5.9.4 has a remote integer overflow upon receiving many requests with different certificates to fill the cache and later trigger the replacement of cache entries. The code attempts to select a less-often-used cache entry by means of a random number generator, but this is not done correctly. Remote code execution might be a slight possibility.
CVE-2021-41990 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Siemens and 1 more 37 Debian Linux, Fedora, 6gk5615-0aa00-2aa2 and 34 more 2026-06-17 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.9.4 has a remote integer overflow via a crafted certificate with an RSASSA-PSS signature. For example, this can be triggered by an unrelated self-signed CA certificate sent by an initiator. Remote code execution cannot occur.
CVE-2019-10155 5 Fedoraproject, Libreswan, Redhat and 2 more 5 Fedora, Libreswan, Enterprise Linux and 2 more 2026-06-17 3.5 LOW 3.1 LOW
The Libreswan Project has found a vulnerability in the processing of IKEv1 informational exchange packets which are encrypted and integrity protected using the established IKE SA encryption and integrity keys, but as a receiver, the integrity check value was not verified. This issue affects versions before 3.29.
CVE-2018-6459 1 Strongswan 1 Strongswan 2026-06-17 5.0 MEDIUM 5.3 MEDIUM
The rsa_pss_params_parse function in libstrongswan/credentials/keys/signature_params.c in strongSwan 5.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted RSASSA-PSS signature that lacks a mask generation function parameter.
