Advisory
========
This update fixes CVE-2023-23009 by adding an upstream patch.

CVE-2023-23009: A change in the libreswan 4.2 Traffic Selector parsing code introduced a missing check that would reject palformed Traffic Selector payloads. As such, in such case the code stumbles on to hit a double free, leading to a crash and restart of the pluto daemon. No remote code execution
is possible.
