The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200511-07 (OpenVPN: Multiple vulnerabilities)
The OpenVPN client contains a format string bug in the handling of the foreign_option in options.c. Furthermore, when the OpenVPN server runs in TCP mode, it may dereference a NULL pointer under specific error conditions.
Impact :
A remote attacker could setup a malicious OpenVPN server and trick the user into connecting to it, potentially executing arbitrary code on the client's computer. A remote attacker could also exploit the NULL dereference issue by sending specific packets to an OpenVPN server running in TCP mode, resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
Do not use 'pull' or 'client' options in the OpenVPN client configuration file, and use UDP mode for the OpenVPN server.
