The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.6.11. This is a bugfix release containing several security fixes.
Security fixes: * CVE-2024-4877: Windows: harden interactive service pipe. Security scope: a malicious process with "some" elevated privileges (SeImpersonatePrivilege) could open the pipe a second time, tricking openvn GUI into providing user credentials (tokens), getting full access to the account openvpn-gui.exe runs as. (Zeze with TeamT5) * CVE-2024-5594: control channel: refuse control channel messages with nonprintable characters in them. Security scope: a malicious openvpn peer can send garbage to openvpn log, or cause high CPU load. (Reynir Björnsson) * CVE-2024-28882: only call schedule_exit() once (on a given peer). Security scope: an authenticated client can make the server "keep the session" even when the server has been told to disconnect this client (Reynir Björnsson) New features: * Windows Crypto-API: Implement Windows CA template match for searching certificates in windows crypto store. * Support pre-created DCO interface on FreeBSD (OpenVPN would fail to set ifmode p2p/subnet otherwise) Bug fixes: * Fix connect timeout when using SOCKS proxies (trac #328, github #267) * Work around LibreSSL crashing on OpenBSD 7.5 when enumerating ciphers (LibreSSL bug, already fixed upstream, but not backported to OpenBSD 7.5, see also https://github.com/libressl/openbsd/issues/150) * Add bracket in fingerprint message and do not warn about missing verification (github #516) Documentation: * Remove "experimental" denotation for --fast-io * Correctly document ifconfig_* variables passed to scripts * Documentation: make section levels consistent * Samples: Update sample configurations (remove compression & old cipher settings, add more informative comments) Windows MSI changes since 2.6.10: * For the Windows-specific security fix see above * Built against OpenSSL 3.3.1 * Included openvpn-gui updated to 11.49.0.0 * Contains part of the fix for CVE-2024-4877 More details can be found in the Changes document: <https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/release/2.6/Changes.rst> Source code and Windows installers can be downloaded from our download page: <https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/> Debian and Ubuntu packages are available in the official apt repositories: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos#DebianUbuntu:UsingOpenVPNaptrepositories> On Red Hat derivatives we recommend using the Fedora Copr repository. <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn-release-2.6/> Regards, -- Frank Lichtenheld _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
