Summary

openvpn security update

Details

OpenVPN is a full-featured open source SSL VPN solution that accommodates a wide range of configurations, including remote access, site-to-site VPNs, Wi-Fi security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing, failover, and fine-grained access-controls. Starting with the fundamental premise that complexity is the enemy of security, OpenVPN offers a cost-effective, lightweight alternative to other VPN technologies that is well-adapted for the SME and enterprise markets.

Security Fix(es):

OpenVPN version 2.6.1 through 2.6.13 in server mode using TLS-crypt-v2 allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service by corrupting and replaying network packets in the early handshake phase(CVE-2025-2704)

Severity

7.5 (High)
