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-2026-78124 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: strongSwan. 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-2026-78124/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78124/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78124","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78124/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78124","record":{"aliases":["AZL-100022","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-78124","GHSA-693g-ppp7-3j2h","MINI-7p9f-fh9g-5v59","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-78124"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IPsec VPN software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause memory exhaustion in strongSwan via PKCS#7 certificate enumeration, leading to service denial.","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":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"strongSwan 5.0.2 through 6.0.7 allows PKCS#7 certificate enumeration in the openssl plugin that leads to a lack of release of memory after its effective lifetime.","ecosystems":[],"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 strongSwan","id":"CVE-2026-78124","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"LearnPress – Sepay Payment \u003c 4.0.3 - Unauthenticated Order Status Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-78125"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in strongSwan","id":"CVE-2026-78123"},"products":["strongSwan"],"published":"2026-09-11","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":"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-11","vendors":["strongSwan"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause memory exhaustion in strongSwan via PKCS#7 certificate enumeration, leading to service denial.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78124/"}
