Debian Bug : 865480

Several issues were discovered in openvpn, a virtual private network
application.

CVE-2017-7479

It was discovered that openvpn did not properly handle the
rollover of packet identifiers. This would allow an authenticated
remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service via application
crash.

CVE-2017-7508

Guido Vranken discovered that openvpn did not properly handle
specific malformed IPv6 packets. This would allow a remote
attacker to cause a denial-of-service via application crash.

CVE-2017-7520

Guido Vranken discovered that openvpn did not properly handle
clients connecting to an HTTP proxy with NTLMv2
authentication. This would allow a remote attacker to cause a
denial-of-service via application crash, or potentially leak
sensitive information like the user's proxy password.

CVE-2017-7521

Guido Vranken discovered that openvpn did not properly handle
some x509 extensions. This would allow a remote attacker to cause
a denial-of-service via application crash.
