Changes in version 5.2.2:
* Fixed a denial-of-service vulnerability triggered by an IKEv2 Key Exchange
payload that contains the Diffie-Hellman group 1025. This identifier was
used internally for DH groups with custom generator and prime. Because
these arguments are missing when creating DH objects based on the KE
payload an invalid pointer dereference occurred. This allowed an attacker
to crash the IKE daemon with a single IKE_SA_INIT message containing such
a KE payload. The vulnerability has been registered as CVE-2014-9221.
* The left/rightid options in ipsec.conf, or any other identity in
strongSwan, now accept prefixes to enforce an explicit type, such as
email: or fqdn:. Note that no conversion is done for the remaining string,
refer to ipsec.conf(5) for details.
* The post-quantum Bimodal Lattice Signature Scheme (BLISS) can be used as
an IKEv2 public key authentication method. The pki tool offers full
support for the generation of BLISS key pairs and certificates.
* Fixed mapping of integrity algorithms negotiated for AH via IKEv1.
This could cause interoperability issues when connecting to older versions
of charon.
Changes in version 5.2.1:
* The new charon-systemd IKE daemon implements an IKE daemon tailored for
use with systemd. It avoids the dependency on ipsec starter and uses
swanctl as configuration backend, building a simple and lightweight
solution. It supports native systemd journal logging.
* Support for IKEv2 fragmentation as per RFC 7383 has been added. Like IKEv1
fragmentation it can be enabled by setting fragmentation=yes in ipsec.conf.
* Support of the TCG TNC IF-M Attribute Segmentation specification proposal.
All attributes can be segmented. Additionally TCG/SWID Tag, TCG/SWID Tag ID
and IETF/Installed Packages attributes can be processed incrementally on a
per segment basis.

and a _fipscheck script to verify binaries/libraries/plugings
shipped in the strongswan-hmac package.
With enabled fips in the kernel, the ipsec script will call it
before any action or in a enforced/manual "ipsec _fipscheck" call.
Added config file to load openssl and kernel af-alg plugins, but
not all the other modules which provide further/alternative algs.
Applied a filter disallowing non-approved algorithms in fips mode.
(fate#316931,bnc#856322).
[+ strongswan_fipscheck.patch, strongswan_fipsfilter.patch]
- Fixed file list in the optional (disabled) strongswan-test package.
- Fixed build of the strongswan built-in integrity checksum library
and enabled building it only on architectures tested to work.
- Fix to use bug number 897048 instead 856322 in last changes entry.
- Applied an upstream patch reverting to store algorithms in the
registration order again as ordering them by identifier caused
weaker algorithms to be proposed first by default (bsc#897512).
