Security patches/workarounds needed for OpenVPN 2.3.2

Post by innogen » Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:16 am

OpenSSL 1.0.1f has been made available since January 6, 2014 (cf. http://www.openssl.org/ )

Tor reported a flaw in OpenVPN's implementation of the SOCKS protocol (cf. "Tor Weekly News, March 12, 2014. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/ )

Would appreciate Samuli and/or his colleagues provide patches/workarounds for the above two issues.

Thanks in advance.

Well. Call me a lame bastard, but I am *not* going to hunt all over the Internet to see whether someone posts an OpenVPN bug in a blog somewhere.

We have a bug tracker (trac), we have a working openvpn-devel mailing list, and we have an IRC channel.

So if our socks code is indeed broken (which might very well be), we'd appreciate a bug in trac, or a mail to openvpn-devel. Not a blog post somewhere.
