OpenVPN versions before 2.4.3 and before 2.3.17 are vulnerable to denial-of-service and/or possibly sensitive memory leak triggered by man-in-the-middle attacker.

OpenVPN versions before 2.4.3 and before 2.3.17 are vulnerable to remote denial-of-service when receiving malformed IPv6 packet.

The Windows interactive service in OpenVPN (versions 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4) allows remote attackers to cause persistent DNS state pollution or a service crash via a crafted search domain during disconnection.

Insufficient argument validation in OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7_rc1 allows an attacker to trigger a heap buffer over-read when parsing IP addresses.

OpenVPN versions 2.6.0 to 2.6.6 contain a use after free vulnerability that may lead to undefined behavior, leaking memory buffers, or remote code execution when sending network buffers to a remote peer.

OpenVPN versions before 2.3.3 and 2.4.x before 2.4.4 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability when key-method 1 is used, possibly resulting in code execution.

In OpenVPN through 2.6.22 and 2.7.6, retransmissions of ACK packet ID allow remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted inputs that trigger a timeout integer overflow.

An argument parsing issue in OpenVPN 2.1_rc10 through 2.6.22 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.6 on Windows allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted certificate subject.

OpenVPN version 2.5.0 through 2.6.22 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.6 on Windows allows local authenticated users to perform a binary planting attack during network configuration steps.
