strongSwan 4.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (daemon crash) via an IKE_SA_INIT message with a large
number of NULL values in a Key Exchange payload, which triggers a NULL
pointer dereference for the return value of the mpz_export function in
the GNU Multiprecision Library (GMP).
