Its not libreswan which is flawed, but its the protocol which they are
trying to implement.

which implement IKEv1 are flawed, since they follow this protocol


Many protocols could be described as "flawed." The IKEv1 protocol
amplification concern does not make it flawed in a way that would lead
to a per-protocol CVE ID assignment. We are maintaining the
CVE-2016-5361 ID assignment for the upstream announcement of
"libreswan 3.16 vulnerable to DDOS attack. Please upgrade to 3.17" and
accompanying upstream patch, as described in the
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/06/10/4 post.
