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.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain openvpn packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openvpn package.");
