Ubuntu Security Notice 6484-1 - It was discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled the --fragment option in certain configurations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenVPN to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenVPN to crash, obtain sensitive information, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Using the --fragment option in certain configuration setups OpenVPN version 2.6.0 to 2.6.6 allows an attacker to trigger a divide by zero behaviour which could cause an application crash, leading to a denial of service.
Use after free in OpenVPN version 2.6.0 to 2.6.6 may lead to undefined behavoir, leaking memory buffers or remote execution when sending network buffers to a remote peer.
