[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#816629: strongswan: Rekeying of tunnels sometimes fail

[Sampo Savola]

Package: strongswan
Version: 5.2.1-6+deb8u2
Severity: important
Tags: newcomer

Dear Maintainer,

Strongswan 5.2.1 on Debian Jessie has nasty issue with rekeying IKEv1 tunnels which leads ipsec tunnel to become unusable.

Here is the upstream bug report:
https://wiki.strongswan.org/issues/431

This bug is already fixed in upstream version 5.3.0.
Strongwasn 5.3.x is already in Debian testing and unstable.

I suggest you to update strongswan in Jessie to 5.3.x version or provide it in the Jessie backports.
