Use‑After‑Free in OpenVPN via Crafted TLS Packets

The fix for CVE-2026-12996 was incomplete. A use-after-free in OpenVPN 2.6.0 through 2.6.22 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.7 allows remote authenticated peers to potentially cause a denial of service or leak memory via crafted packets during TLS session promotion or expiry.

OpenVPN: OpenVPN: Arbitrary command execution via crafted certificate subject

An argument parsing issue in OpenVPN 2.1_rc10 through 2.6.22 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.7 on Windows allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted certificate subject

OpenVPN: OpenVPN: Denial of service or memory leakage via incomplete TLS guard

An incomplete guard in OpenVPN 2.6.0 through 2.6.20 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 allows remote authenticated peers to trigger a use-after-free during TLS session promotion, potentially leading to a denial of service or memory leakage

openvpn: OpenVPN: Denial of Service due to memory leak in tls-crypt-v2 client key extraction

A memory leak in the tls-crypt-v2 client key extraction in OpenVPN 2.5.0 through 2.6.20 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a flood of crafted packets

openvpn: OpenVPN: Remote Denial of Service via crafted ACK packets

Retransmissions of ACK packet ID in OpenVPN through 2.6.22 and 2.7.6 allow remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted inputs that trigger a timeout integer overflow

OpenVPN: OpenVPN: Arbitrary Code Execution via Binary Planting on Windows

OpenVPN version 2.5.0 through 2.6.22 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.6 on Windows allows local authenticated users to perform a binary planting attack during network configuration steps

openvpn: OpenVPN: Denial of service via NULL DACL on named IPC objects

OpenVPN 2.0.0 through 2.6.22 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.6 on Windows allows local authenticated users to cause a denial of service via a NULL DACL on named IPC objects

OpenVPN: OpenVPN: Security Bypass via incorrect file path validation

The Windows interactive service in OpenVPN 2.4.0 through 2.6.22 allows local authenticated users to bypass the trusted configuration directory constraint via incorrect file path validation

openvpn: OpenVPN: Out-of-bounds write via crafted DOMAIN-SEARCH entries

OpenVPN 2.5.0 through 2.7.6 on Windows using the tap-windows6 driver allows attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds write via crafted DOMAIN-SEARCH entries

OpenVPN: OpenVPN: Memory corruption and information disclosure vulnerability

An incorrect buffer size calculation in the Windows Interactive Service in OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.6 allows local authenticated users to cause memory corruption or disclose sensitive information via crafted NRPT inputs.

OpenVPN: OpenVPN: Privilege Escalation via Arbitrary Configuration File Loading

The Windows Interactive Service in OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.6 allows local authenticated users to bypass the trusted configuration directory constraint and load arbitrary configuration files via specially crafted paths

openvpn: mbedtls: OpenVPN: User misidentification via ignored X.509 identity field

OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.5 using mbedTLS allows remote authenticated users to be misidentified by ignoring the configured X.509 username identity lookup field

openvpn: OpenVPN: Privilege escalation via arbitrary configuration file loading

The Windows interactive service in OpenVPN 2.4.0 through 2.6.21 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.5 allows local authenticated users to bypass the trusted configuration directory constraint and load arbitrary configuration files via crafted options that bypass whitelist checks

Improper Packet Length Validation in OpenVPN's tls-crypt-v2 Leads to DoS

Improper validation of packet length during tls-crypt-v2 key extraction in OpenVPN 2.6.0 through 2.6.19 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.1 allows authenticated attackers to trigger a fatal assertion and cause a denial of service via a specially crafted packet.

OpenVPN TLS Session Promotion Race Condition Causing Crash or Memory Leak

A race condition in OpenVPN 2.6.0 through 2.6.19 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to potentially cause a server crash or leak heap memory via a use-after-free triggered during TLS session promotion.

The Windows interactive service in OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to cause persistent DNS state pollution or a service crash via a crafted search domain during the disconnection process
