Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for ipsec-tools.

CVE-2009-1632[0]:
| Multiple memory leaks in Ipsec-tools before 0.7.2 allow remote
| attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via
| vectors involving (1) signature verification during user
| authentication with X.509 certificates, related to the
| eay_check_x509sign function in src/racoon/crypto_openssl.c; and (2)
| the NAT-Traversal (aka NAT-T) keepalive implementation, related to
| src/racoon/nattraversal.c.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.

For the moment set only important as severity because 1:0.7.1-1.4 needs to
migrate in testing, and I don't know if an RC bug could interfere.
