Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated package fixes a security vulnerability:

The Libreswan Project was notified of an issue causing libreswan to restart under some IKEv2 retransmit scenarios when a connection is configured to use PreSharedKeys (authby=secret) and the connection cannot find a matching configured secret. When such a connection is automatically added on startup using the auto= keyword, it can cause repeated crashes leading to a Denial of Service. (CVE-2024-2357)

MGA9-64 Plasma Wayland on HP-Pavillion
No installation issues
Ref bug 31865 for testing. Installation nor removing libreswan does not affect my internal networking nor access to the internet.
OK for me.
