VuXML IDDescription
3dd6ccf4-a3c6-11e7-a52e-0800279f2ff8OpenVPN -- out-of-bounds write in legacy key-method 1

Steffan Karger reports:

The bounds check in read_key() was performed after using the value, instead of before. If 'key-method 1' is used, this allowed an attacker to send a malformed packet to trigger a stack buffer overflow. [...]

Note that 'key-method 1' has been replaced by 'key method 2' as the default in OpenVPN 2.0 (released on 2005-04-17), and explicitly deprecated in 2.4 and marked for removal in 2.5. This should limit the amount of users impacted by this issue.
