Version 2.4.3
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
New features
|
||||
------------
|
||||
- Support building with OpenSSL 1.1 now (in addition to older versions)
|
||||
|
||||
- On Win10, set low interface metric for TAP adapter when block-outside-dns
|
||||
is in use, to make Windows prefer the TAP adapter for DNS queries
|
||||
(avoiding large delays)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Security
|
||||
--------
|
||||
- CVE-2017-7522: Fix --x509-track post-authentication remote DoS
|
||||
- CVE-2017-7522: Fix ``--x509-track`` post-authentication remote DoS
|
||||
A client could crash a 2.4+ mbedtls server, if that server uses the
|
||||
--x509-track option and the client has a correct, signed and unrevoked
|
||||
``--x509-track`` option and the client has a correct, signed and unrevoked
|
||||
certificate that contains an embedded NUL in the certificate subject.
|
||||
Discovered and reported to the OpenVPN security team by Guido Vranken.
|
||||
|
||||
- CVE-2017-7521: Fix post-authentication remote-triggerable memory leaks
|
||||
A client could cause a server to leak a few bytes each time it connects to the
|
||||
server. That can eventuall cause the server to run out of memory, and thereby
|
||||
causing the server process to terminate. Discovered and reported to the
|
||||
OpenVPN security team by Guido Vranken. (OpenSSL builds only.)
|
||||
|
||||
- CVE-2017-7521: Fix a potential post-authentication remote code execution
|
||||
attack on servers that use the ``--x509-alt-username`` option with an X.509
|
||||
attack on servers that use the ``--x509-username-field`` option with an X.509
|
||||
extension field (option argument prefixed with ``ext:``). A client that can
|
||||
cause a server to run out-of-memory (see above) might be able to cause the
|
||||
server to double free, which in turn might lead to remote code execution.
|
||||
Discovered and reported to the OpenVPN security team by Guido Vranken.
|
||||
(OpenSSL builds only.)
|
||||
|
||||
- CVE-2017-7520: Pre-authentication remote crash/information disclosure for
|
||||
clients. If clients use a HTTP proxy with NTLM authentication (i.e.
|
||||
``--http-proxy <server> <port> [<authfile>|'auto'|'auto-nct'] ntlm2``),
|
||||
a man-in-the-middle attacker between the client and the proxy can cause
|
||||
the client to crash or disclose at most 96 bytes of stack memory. The
|
||||
disclosed stack memory is likely to contain the proxy password. If the
|
||||
proxy password is not reused, this is unlikely to compromise the security
|
||||
of the OpenVPN tunnel itself. Clients who do not use the ``--http-proxy``
|
||||
option with ntlm2 authentication are not affected.
|
||||
|
||||
- CVE-2017-7508: Fix remotely-triggerable ASSERT() on malformed IPv6 packet.
|
||||
This can be used to remotely shutdown an openvpn server or client, if
|
||||
IPv6 and ``--mssfix`` are enabled and the IPv6 networks used inside the VPN
|
||||
are known.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix null-pointer dereference when talking to a malicious http proxy
|
||||
that returns a malformed ``Proxy-Authenticate:`` headers for digest auth.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix overflow check for long ``--tls-cipher`` option
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows: Pass correct buffer size to ``GetModuleFileNameW()``
|
||||
(OSTIF/Quarkslabs audit, finding 5.6)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
User-visible Changes
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
- ``--verify-hash`` can now take an optional flag which changes the hashing
|
||||
algorithm. It can be either SHA1 or SHA256. The default if not provided is
|
||||
SHA1 to preserve backwards compatibility with existing configurations.
|
||||
- Restrict the supported --x509-alt-username extension fields to subjectAltName
|
||||
|
||||
- Restrict the supported ``--x509-username-field`` extension fields to subjectAltName
|
||||
and issuerAltName. Other extensions probably didn't work anyway, and would
|
||||
cause OpenVPN to crash when a client connects.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bugfixes
|
||||
--------
|
||||
- Fix fingerprint calculation in mbed TLS builds. This means that mbed TLS users
|
||||
of OpenVPN 2.4.0, 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 that rely on the values of the
|
||||
``tls_digest_*`` env vars, or that use `--verify-hash` will have to change
|
||||
``tls_digest_*`` env vars, or that use ``--verify-hash`` will have to change
|
||||
the fingerprint values they check against. The security impact of the
|
||||
incorrect calculation is very minimal; the last few bytes (max 4, typically
|
||||
4) are not verified by the fingerprint. We expect no real-world impact,

stopped working, and users that didn't will notice that connection setup
|
||||
fails if they specify correct fingerprints.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix edge case with NCP when the server sends an empty PUSH_REPLY message
|
||||
back, and the client would not initialize it's data channel crypto layer
|
||||
properly (trac #903)
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix SIGSEGV on unaligned buffer access on OpenBSD/Sparc64
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix TCP_NODELAY on OpenBSD
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove erroneous limitation on max number of args for ``--plugin``
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix NCP behaviour on TLS reconnect (Server would not send a proper
|
||||
"cipher ..." message back to the client, leading to client and server
|
||||
using different ciphers) (trac #887)

Version 2.4.2
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Bugfixes
|
||||
--------
|
||||
- Fix memory leak introduced in 2.4.1: if ``--remote-cert-tls`` is used, we leaked
|
||||
some memory on each TLS (re)negotiation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Security
|
||||
--------
|
||||
- Fix a pre-authentication denial-of-service attack on both clients and servers.
|
||||
By sending a too-large control packet, OpenVPN 2.4.0 or 2.4.1 can be forced
|
||||
to hit an ASSERT() and stop the process. If ``--tls-auth`` or ``--tls-crypt``
|
||||
is used, only attackers that have the ``--tls-auth`` or ``--tls-crypt`` key
|
||||
can mount an attack. (OSTIF/Quarkslab audit finding 5.1, CVE-2017-7478)
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix an authenticated remote DoS vulnerability that could be triggered by
|
||||
causing a packet id roll over. An attack is rather inefficient; a peer
|
||||
would need to get us to send at least about 196 GB of data.
