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

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

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

It was discovered that OpenVPN had a 1-byte buffer overrun when handling NTLMv2 proxy responses. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-11771) It was discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled metadata when extracting tls-crypt-v2 client keys. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-12932) It was discovered that OpenVPN had a use-after-free in the ack_write_buf handling. An attacker could use this issue to cause OpenVPN to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-12996) It was discovered that OpenVPN had a use-after-free in the tls_wrap_reneg handling. An attacker could use this issue to cause OpenVPN to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-13117) It was discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly validated authentication tokens when external authentication was enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenVPN to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-13122) It was discovered that OpenVPN had a memory leak when handling tls-crypt-v2 client keys. A remote attacker with a valid tls-crypt-v2 client key could possibly use this issue to cause OpenVPN to consume excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-13698)

OpenVPN version 2.6.0 through 2.6.20 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed authentication token that triggers a reachable assertion when external-auth is enabled

Guannan Wang, Zhanpeng Liu, Guancheng Li, and Emma Reuter discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled suitably malformed packets with valid tls-crypt-v2 keys. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenVPN to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-35058) Guannan Wang, Zhanpeng Liu, and Guancheng Li discovered that OpenVPN had a race condition in the TLS handshake process that could leak packet data from a previous handshake under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40215)
