    Package : openvpn
    CVE ID : CVE-2017-7479 CVE-2017-7508 CVE-2017-7520 CVE-2017-7521
    Debian Bug : 865480

    Several issues were discovered in openvpn, a virtual private network application.

    CVE-2017-7479

    It was discovered that openvpn did not properly handle the
    rollover of packet identifiers. This would allow an authenticated
    remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service via application
    crash.

    CVE-2017-7508

    Guido Vranken discovered that openvpn did not properly handle
    specific malformed IPv6 packets. This would allow a remote
    attacker to cause a denial-of-service via application crash.

    CVE-2017-7520

    Guido Vranken discovered that openvpn did not properly handle
    clients connecting to an HTTP proxy with NTLMv2
    authentication. This would allow a remote attacker to cause a
    denial-of-service via application crash, or potentially leak
    sensitive information like the user's proxy password.

    CVE-2017-7521

    Guido Vranken discovered that openvpn did not properly handle
    some x509 extensions. This would allow a remote attacker to cause
    a denial-of-service via application crash.

    For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed
