The remote Debian 12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5555 advisory.

  • Using the --fragment option in certain configuration setups OpenVPN version 2.6.0 to 2.6.6 allows an attacker to trigger a divide by zero behaviour which could cause an application crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-46849)

  • Use after free in OpenVPN version 2.6.0 to 2.6.6 may lead to undefined behavoir, leaking memory buffers or remote execution when sending network buffers to a remote peer. (CVE-2023-46850)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
