Several security related problems have been discovered in openvpn, a Virtual Private Network daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CAN-2005-2531 Wrong processing of failed certificate authentication when running with ‘verb 0’ and without TLS authentication can lead to a denial of service by disconnecting the wrong client.
CAN-2005-2532
Wrong handling of packets that can’t be decrypted on the server can lead to the disconnection of unrelated clients.
CAN-2005-2533
When running in ‘dev tap’ Ethernet bridging mode, openvpn can exhaust its memory by receiving a large number of spoofed MAC addresses and hence denying service.
CAN-2005-2534
Simultaneous TCP connections from multiple clients with the same client certificate can cause a denial of service when–duplicate-cn is not enabled.
