Changes:
2.0.5:
======
- Fixed bug in Linux get_default_gateway function
introduced in 2.0.4, which would cause redirect-gateway
on Linux clients to fail.
- Restored easy-rsa/2.0 tree (backported from 2.1 beta
series) which accidentally disappeared in
2.0.2 -> 2.0.4 transition.
2.0.4:
======
- Security fix -- Affects non-Windows OpenVPN clients of
version 2.0 or higher which connect to a malicious or
compromised server. A format string vulnerability
in the foreign_option function in options.c could
potentially allow a malicious or compromised server
to execute arbitrary code on the client. Only
non-Windows clients are affected. The vulnerability
only exists if (a) the client's TLS negotiation with
the server succeeds, (b) the server is malicious or
has been compromised such that it is configured to
push a maliciously crafted options string to the client,
and (c) the client indicates its willingness to accept
pushed options from the server by having "pull" or
"client" in its configuration file (Credit: Vade79).
CVE-2005-3393
- Security fix -- Potential DoS vulnerability on the
server in TCP mode. If the TCP server accept() call
returns an error status, the resulting exception handler
may attempt to indirect through a NULL pointer, causing
a segfault. Affects all OpenVPN 2.0 versions.
CVE-2005-3409
- Fix attempt of assertion at multi.c:1586 (note that
this precise line number will vary across different
versions of OpenVPN).
- Added ".PHONY: plugin" to Makefile.am to work around
"make dist" issue.
- Fixed double fork issue that occurs when --management-hold
is used.
- Moved TUN/TAP read/write log messages from --verb 8 to 6.
- Warn when multiple clients having the same common name or
username usurp each other when --duplicate-cn is not used.
- Modified Windows and Linux versions of get_default_gateway
to return the route with the smallest metric
if multiple 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 entries are present.
2.0.3:
======
- openvpn_plugin_abort_v1 function wasn't being properly
registered on Windows.
- Fixed a bug where --mode server --proto tcp-server --cipher none
operation could cause tunnel packet truncation.
SIGUSR1 reset of the openvpn process. This is useful for simplifying
dhclient-exit-hooks hook scripts that need to tell the openvpn process
to reset and re-run its "up" script.
Bump the PKGREVISION of net/openvpn to 1.
include:
Adding a highly scalable server for handling multiple TCP/UDP
clients over point-to-point TUN interfaces, all using a single
port number. The server has been designed so that it can run with
reduced privilege.
On the client side, "pull" has been added, which basically says
"accept certain config file options which the server pushes back
to you." The major win of the push/pull capability is that the
same client configuration file can be used on each client provided
each client has its own set of SSL/TLS keys which have been signed
by the master CA.
A management interface has been developed which can be used to
remotely control or centrally manage an OpenVPN daemon.
"remote" can now specify a set of machines, or a hostname can be
configured with multiple addresses in DNS. A server will be
randomly chosen from the list, and if the connect fails, another
will be tried (see the "remote-random" option)
A package for easy RSA key management (easy-rsa-2.0rc1) has been
included to aid in generating SSL keys and certificates for use
with OpenVPN.
