CVE-2023-26463 is fixed in strongswan on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2023-26463, released April 15, 2023. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
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.
