+ <title>OpenVPN: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The OpenVPN client is potentially vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary
+ code and the OpenVPN server is vulnerable to a Denial of Service issue.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">OpenVPN</product>
+ <announced>2005-11-06</announced>

+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-misc/openvpn" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2.0.4</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">2.0.4</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ OpenVPN is a multi-platform, full-featured SSL VPN solution.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The OpenVPN client contains a format string bug in the handling of
+ the foreign_option in options.c. Furthermore, when the OpenVPN server
+ runs in TCP mode, it may dereference a NULL pointer under specific
+ error conditions.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could setup a malicious OpenVPN server and trick
+ the user into connecting to it, potentially executing arbitrary code on
+ the client's computer. A remote attacker could also exploit the NULL
+ dereference issue by sending specific packets to an OpenVPN server
+ running in TCP mode, resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Do not use "pull" or "client" options in the OpenVPN client
+ configuration file, and use UDP mode for the OpenVPN server.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenVPN users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/openvpn-2.0.4"</code>
+ </resolution>
