Statement
This flaw only affects openswan versions compiled without NSS. When NSS is used as cryptographic library, the RSA routines from NSS are used instead of the custom openswan RSA code that contains the vulnerability.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has only ever shipped with NSS enabled openswan versions, so no Red Hat products are vulnerable to this bug.
