github OpenVPN/openvpn v2.6.19

latest release: v2.7.0
7 hours ago

User visible changes

  • disable DCO if --bind-dev option is given (no support for this in
    the old out-of-kernel Linux DCO implementation)
  • on Windows, if using --ip-win32 netsh and not using the interactive
    service, IPv4 addresses would be installed as "permanent", possibly
    causing problems later on with using that IPv4 address on a different
    interface. Change to "store=active". (GH: #915)
  • improve pull-filter documentation, emphasizing possible problems if
    used as a naive security measure (reported by SRLabs)

Bugfixes

  • p2mp server: fix incorrect file descriptor handling on "inotify" FD
    during a SIGUSR1 restart (GH: #966)
  • management interface: fix bug where --management-forget-disconnect
    and --management-signal could be executed even if password authentication
    to managment interface was still pending (ZeroPath finding)
  • repair client-side interaction on reconnect between DCO event handling
    and --persist-tun - after a ping timeout and reconnect, the DCO
    event handler would not be armed, and the next ping timeout would not
    be received by userland, causing non-working connections with nothing
    in the openvpn log (Linux and FreeBSD only, GH: #947)
  • prevent crash on invalid server-ipv6 argument, calling freeaddrinfo()
    with a NULL pointer. This only affects OpenBSD. (Klemens Nanni).
