Analysis

Impacted version

An attacker who makes several requests to connect to an IPSec tunnel with a valid certificate by modifying the signatureAlgorithm field will request the cache to store the different variants of the same certificate. As the cache management is poorly managed, a bad index calculation can lead to access to unauthorized memory, therefore a SEGFAULT or very improbably an RCE although an attacker does not have direct control over the dereferenced memory.
