CVE-2024-27459

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenVPN versions 2.6.9 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the interactive service in OpenVPN, which allows an attacker to send data causing a stack overflow. This can be used to execute arbitrary code with more privileges. The vulnerability is also described as being related to insufficient restriction of the communication channel for given endpoints, which can allow a remote attacker to elevate their privileges and execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For OpenVPN versions 2.6.9 and earlier, consider disabling the interactive service as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable service to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
