Subject: [oss-security] CVE request: OpenVPN (client) 2.1-beta14 through
2.1-rc8
OpenVPN 2.1_rc9 changelog contains following:
* Security Fix -- affects non-Windows OpenVPN clients running
OpenVPN 2.1-beta14 through 2.1-rc8 (OpenVPN 2.0.x clients are NOT
vulnerable nor are any versions of the OpenVPN server vulnerable).
An OpenVPN client connecting to a malicious or compromised
server could potentially receive an "lladdr" or "iproute" configuration
directive from the server which could cause arbitrary code execution on
the client. A successful attack requires that (a) the client has agreed
to allow the server to push configuration directives to it by including
"pull" or the macro "client" in its configuration file, (b) the client
succesfully authenticates the server, (c) the server is malicious or has
been compromised and is under the control of the attacker, and (d) the
client is running a non-Windows OS. Credit: David Wagner.
