- The Windows interactive service in OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to cause
persistent DNS state pollution or a service crash via a crafted search domain during the disconnection
process. (CVE-2026-13379)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
