Version 2.4.4 ============= This is primarily a maintenance release, with further improved OpenSSL 1.1 integration, several minor bug fixes and other minor improvements. Bug fixes --------- - Fix issues when a pushed cipher via the Negotiable Crypto Parameters (NCP) is rejected by the remote side - Ignore ``--keysize`` when NCP have resulted in a changed cipher. - Configurations using ``--auth-nocache`` and the management interface to provide user credentials (like NetworkManager on Linux) on client side with servers implementing authentication tokens (for example, using ``--auth-gen-token``) will now behave correctly and not query the user for an, to them, unknown authentication token on renegotiations of the tunnel. - Fix bug causing invalid or corrupt SOCKS port number when changing the proxy via the management interface. - The man page should now have proper escaping of hyphens/minus characters and have seen some minor corrections. User-visible Changes -------------------- - Linux servers with systemd which uses the ``openvpn-server@.service`` unit file for server configurations will now utilize the automatic restart feature in systemd. If the OpenVPN server process dies unexpectedly, systemd will ensure the OpenVPN configuration will be restarted without any user interaction. Deprecated features ------------------- - ``--no-replay`` is deprecated and will be removed in OpenVPN 2.5. - ``--keysize`` is deprecated in OpenVPN 2.4 and will be removed in v2.6 Security -------- - CVE-2017-12166: Fix bounds check for configurations using ``--key-method 1``. Before this fix, it could allow an attacker to send a malformed packet to trigger a stack overflow. This is considered to be a low risk issue, as ``--key-method 2`` has been the default since OpenVPN 2.0 (released on 2005-04-17). This option is already deprecated in v2.4 and will be completely removed in v2.5. |
