Discovery	2014-03-12
Entry	2014-05-04

strongSwan developers report:

Remote attackers are able to bypass authentication by rekeying an IKE_SA during (1) initiation or (2) re-authentication, which triggers the IKE_SA state to be set to established.

Only installations that actively initiate or re-authenticate IKEv2 IKE_SAs are affected.
