    Summary: Updated openswan packages fix CVE-2013-6466

    Details: Updated openswan packages fix security vulnerability: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the way Openswan's IKE daemon processed IKEv2 payloads. A remote attacker could send specially crafted IKEv2 payloads that, when processed, would lead to a denial of service (daemon crash), possibly causing existing VPN connections to be dropped (CVE-2013-6466).
