Any reason why we have not updated to 2.4.3 and are sticking to 2.4.0 ?

FTR, I have now in my SVN a built 2.4.3 version so let me know if you want me to push it.

Yes, if you look at the changes even just going to 2.4.1 in the Fedora package, it looks to be a non-trivial update.

As long as I don't have to do the work to update it, if it works, I'm happy to have it updated.

Ok. Works for me locally once installed on mga5. Freeze push asked.

To be clearer, I asked for a freeze push of 2.4.3 for mga6/cauldron, and I have also pushed 2.3.17 to mga5 updates.

Fedora has issued an advisory for this today (June 23):
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/PWTVFFSR6XK4GJBQ3UH5HACTIDBYSQRN/

Bruno, you should sync with Fedora for Cauldron, as you updated it but it failed to build.

Package list for the Mageia 5 update:
openvpn-2.3.17-1.mga5
libopenvpn-devel-2.3.17-1.mga5

If we need to go back to 2.4.0, Ubuntu has patches:
https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3339-1/

It looks like Bruno fixed this for Cauldron.  Thanks!

Now we just need an advisory for the Mageia 5 update.

Version: Cauldron => 5

Would it be an option to sync the referenced advisory from Fedora to get some progress to this issue?

Advisory:
========================

Updated openvpn packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was possible to trigger an assertion by sending a malformed IPv6
packet. That issue could have been abused to remotely shutdown an
openvpn server or client, if IPv6 and --mssfix were enabled and if the
IPv6 networks used inside the VPN were known (CVE-2017-7508).

Some parts of the certificate-parsing code did not always clear all
allocated memory. This would have allowed clients to leak a few bytes of
memory for each connection attempt, thereby facilitating a (quite
inefficient) DoS attack on the server (CVE-2017-7512).

If clients used a HTTP proxy with NTLM authentication, a
man-in-the-middle attacker between client and proxy could cause the
client to crash or disclose at most 96 bytes of stack memory. The
disclosed stack memory was likely to contain the proxy password. If the
proxy password had not been reused, this was unlikely to compromise the
security of the OpenVPN tunnel itself. Clients who did not use the
--http-proxy option with ntlm2 authentication were not affected
(CVE-2017-7520).

The ASN1 parsing code contained a bug that could have resulted in some
buffers being free()d twice, and this issue could have potentially been
triggered remotely by a VPN peer (CVE-2017-7521).

I installed the updated version from testing on my i586 system. I had no problems during update, the restart of the service was fine and I'm running the new version with my previous config now for three days without any problems.
Thx for the update.

Installed and tested, using previous config, without issues.

$ rpm -q openvpn
openvpn-2.3.17-1.mga5
