FKIE_CVE-2013-2053
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2013-07-09 17:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:52
Severity
Summary
Buffer overflow in the atodn function in Openswan before 2.6.39, when Opportunistic Encryption is enabled and an RSA key is being used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pluto IKE daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS TXT records. NOTE: this might be the same vulnerability as CVE-2013-2052 and CVE-2013-2054.
