CVE-2017-9022 [HIGH] CVE-2017-9022 strongswan: Insufficient validation of RSA public keys passed to the gmp plugin
CVE-2017-9022 strongswan: Insufficient validation of RSA public keys passed to the gmp plugin
It was found that RSA public keys passed to the gmp plugin aren't validated sufficiently before attempting signature verification, so that invalid input might lead to a floating point exception and crash of the process. A certificate with an appropriately prepared public key sent by a peer could be used for a denial-of-service attack.

# The Race Between Security Professionals and Adversaries
We examined vulnerabilities between first disclosure and release on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) to understand timelines of the security community and threat actors.
### Key Takeaways
- 75% of vulnerabilities are disclosed prior to NVD release with a median of seven days prior notice. This median gap is increasing, complicating the ability of vulnerability management teams to stay current and, with increasing gaps, the situation is worsening.
- Over 1,500 sources reported over 114,000 times on vulnerabilities prior to release, including community intelligence and adversary intelligence sources on the deep and dark web.
- Higher severity vulnerabilities have shorter release lags as more effort is put into communicatin
