Updated openvpn packages fix security vulnerability :

Dragana Damjanovic discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled certain control channel packets. An authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause an OpenVPN server to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2014-8104).

The openvpn packages has been updated to the 2.3.2 version and patched to correct this issue.

A remote denial of service attack against openvpn was fixed, where a authenticated client cloud stop the server by triggering a server-side ASSERT (CVE-2014-8104),

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to its self-reported version number, the version of OpenVPN installed on the remote host is affected by an error related to 'Control Channel Packet' handling and TLS-authenticated clients that could allow denial of service attacks.

Updated openvpn packages fix security vulnerability :

Dragana Damjanovic discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled certain control channel packets. An authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause an OpenVPN server to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2014-8104).

The OpenVPN project reports :

In late November 2014 Dragana Damjanovic notified OpenVPN developers of a critical denial of service security vulnerability (CVE-2014-8104). The vulnerability allows an tls-authenticated client to crash the server by sending a too-short control channel packet to the server. In other words this vulnerability is denial of service only.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2430-1 advisory.

    Dragana Damjanovic discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled certain control channel packets. An     authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause an OpenVPN server to crash, resulting in a denial of     service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

openvpn was updated to fix a denial-of-service vulnerability where an authenticated client could stop the server by triggering a server-side ASSERT (bnc#907764,CVE-2014-8104),

OpenVPN 2.x before 2.0.11, 2.1.x, 2.2.x before 2.2.3, and 2.3.x before 2.3.6 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a small control channel packet.

Fix for CVE-2014-8104.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-41 (OpenVPN: Denial of Service)

    OpenVPN does not properly handle control channel packets that are too       small.
  Impact :

    A remote authenticated attacker could send a specially crafted control       channel packet, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
