Today Xelerance released Openswan-2.4.4

This release fixes bug #2 that was a result from the PROTO IPsec test suite.
Note this bug was only a Denial of Service bug, and not a system compromise.
You also needed to know the PSK and use Aggressive Mode, a combination that
is vulnerable to a Man in the middle attack without any bugs in the code.

v2.4.4
  #487 ASSERTION FAILED at state.c:120:IS_ISAKMP_ENCRYPTED(isakmp_sa->st_state)
  (see http://www.openswan.org/niscc2/)
  (proper fix in pluto_constants.h)
* Fix for kernels having strstr
* Various gcc4 warning fixes
* disable CONFIG_IPSEC_NAT_TRAVERSAL per default so we can build KLIPS on
  Fedora systems.
* questionable spin_unlock commented out. Might fix reported SMP crashers.
* update to permit alg code without module support
* various updates to the RedHat specfile.
* Fix for detecting proper kernel source/header directory on fedora
* Various bugfixes as reported on http://bugs.openswan.org/
  #499: check for module support in kernel for IPsec Modular Extensions
  #500: recent awk breaks on 'setdefault' command
