Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-18 19:46:47 UTC 
CVE-2021-41991:

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.
