Bug Description

Strongswan's "road warrior" configuration fails for dynamic IPv6 hosts. The problem is a flaw in how Strongswan parses the kernel's routing table. The bug is reported upstream here:

https://wiki.strongswan.org/issues/803

The upstream bug also contains a patch. Since most IPv6 clients are expected to be configured automatically using SLAAC this patch is important. Without it IPSEC will not be possible for most hosts.
