** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Users report a crash when the revocation plugin is loaded, after a
+ few rounds of IKE_SA reauthentication.
+ 
+  * Users do not expect strongswan to crash under valid configurations.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * While not an explicit testcase, the original bug report indicates all
+ that is needed is a loading of the revocation plugin and several runs of
+ IKE_SA reauthentication. Upstream strongswan fixed this issue and
+ referred to multiple reauthentication rounds being the primary culprit.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Currently, the code crashes without this fix. Upstream has accepted
+ this fix and applied it all versions. I believe the regression potential
+ is very low, as the bug resulted from a coding error.

  When the plugin revocation is loaded, the daemon crashes in most every IKE_SA 
reauthentication (not each time).

  So, we have recompile the source package version including the joined patch
