Descriptions

OpenVPN from 2.6.0 through 2.6.10 in a server role accepts multiple exit notifications from authenticated clients which will extend the validity of a closing session

OpenVPN 2.6.10 y versiones anteriores en una función de servidor aceptan múltiples notificaciones de salida de clientes autenticados que extenderán la validez de una sesión de cierre

Reynir Bjoernsson discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled terminating client connections. A remote authenticated client could possibly use this issue to keep the connection active, bypassing certain security policies. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Reynir Bjoernsson discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled certain control channel messages with nonprintable characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenVPN to consume resources, or fill up log files with garbage, leading to a denial of service.
