Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
vtun versions prior to 3.0.3
Description
A vulnerability was found in the vtun package. When a SIGHUP is sent to a vtun client process and it cannot connect to the remote server, vtun attempts to reconnect without a sleep period between each attempt. As a result, the vtun process consumes a significant amount of CPU and writes to syslog without limit.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 3.0.3, update to version 3.0.3 to fix this issue and other bugs.
