Samuli Seppanen reports :

In May/June 2017 Guido Vranken threw a fuzzer at OpenVPN 2.4.2. In the process he found several vulnerabilities and reported them to the OpenVPN project. [...] The first releases to have these fixes are OpenVPN 2.4.3 and 2.3.17.

This is a list of fixed important vulnerabilities :

- Remotely-triggerable ASSERT() on malformed IPv6 packet

- Potential double-free in --x509-alt-username

- Remote-triggerable memory leaks

- Post-authentication remote DoS when using the --x509-track option
