** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn + + + SRU JUSTIFICATION: + + This bug was fixed upstream in the attached upstream bug report and + NetworkManager packages already closely follow the upstream GIT tree. + + This appears to be a pretty recurrent theme (also noticeable in bug + 655124) with a small, low-impact fix. + + TEST CASE: + + To reproduce the bug easily, one can connect to an OpenVPN-based VPN + server with default settings; they should notice a form of race + condition where openvpn itself applies IP address information to a TUN + device whereas NetworkManager should be doing it itself (which it tries + to do unsuccessfully after openvpn has already done the update). + + Regression potential is low but crippling: if this patch causes a + regression it will not allow a VPN connection to pass traffic since no + IP will be set on the interface (because openvpn won't have set it, and + the failure scenario would be for NM to not set the IP either) + + ---- Jul 27 10:06:06 antani-ubu NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...
