An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-6459 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6459/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6459/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6459","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6459/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6459","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2018-6459","GHSA-66xj-v6xw-92v4","SUSE-SU-2020:0743-1","openSUSE-SU-2020:0403-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"strongSwan IPsec library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in strongSwan by sending a crafted RSASSA-PSS signature lacking a mask generation function parameter.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"strongswan","vendor":"strongswan"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-347","name":"Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature"}],"description":"The rsa_pss_params_parse function in libstrongswan/credentials/keys/signature_params.c in strongSwan 5.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted RSASSA-PSS signature that lacks a mask generation function parameter.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 SP1","openSUSE:Leap 15.1"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6459","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6460"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 SP1","fixed":["5.8.2-4.6.14"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"strongswan","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/strongswan\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Module%20for%20Basesystem%2015%20SP1","source":"SUSE-SU-2020:0743-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 15.1","fixed":["5.8.2-lp151.4.6.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"strongswan","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/strongswan\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2015.1","source":"openSUSE-SU-2020:0403-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6458"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-02-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-41913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-26463","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3991","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-07"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Auth bypass in strongSwan","id":"CVE-2022-4967","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Null dereference in strongSwan","id":"CVE-2026-78130","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-11"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in strongSwan","id":"CVE-2026-78132","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-11"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in strongSwan","id":"CVE-2026-78133","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in strongSwan by sending a crafted RSASSA-PSS signature lacking a mask generation function parameter.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6459/"}
