Descriptions

OpenVPN before version 2.5.3 on Windows allows local users to load arbitrary dynamic loadable libraries via an OpenSSL configuration file if present, which allows the user to run arbitrary code with the same privilege level as the main OpenVPN process (openvpn.exe).

OpenVPN versiones anteriores a 2.5.3 en Windows permite a usuarios locales cargar bibliotecas arbitrarias de carga dinámica por medio de un archivo de configuración de OpenSSL si está presente, permitiendo a un usuario ejecutar código arbitrario con el mismo nivel de privilegio que el proceso principal de OpenVPN (openvpn.exe)
