NASL family Windows NASL id OPENVPN_2_0_1.NASL description According to its self-reported version number, the version of OpenVPN installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in OpenVPN due to its OpenSSL error queue not being flushed properly. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by sending a large number of incorrect connection requests, to cause the application to stop responding (CVE-2005-2531) & (CVE-2005-2532). - OpenVPN is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by sending a large of number of packets with spoofed MAC addresses, to cause the application to stop responding (CVE-2005-2533). - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in OpenVPN when --duplicate-cn is not enabled. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by issuing simultaneous tcp connections from multiple clients that use the same certificate, to cause the application to stop responding (CVE-2005-2534). last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 125261 published 2019-05-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/125261 title OpenVPN < 2.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Windows) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-851.NASL description Several security related problems have been discovered in openvpn, a Virtual Private Network daemon.
