New features
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
Keying Material Exporters (RFC 5705) based key generation
|
|
|
|
|
As part of the cipher negotiation OpenVPN will automatically prefer
|
|
|
|
|
the RFC5705 based key material generation to the current custom
|
|
|
|
|
OpenVPN PRF. This feature requires OpenSSL or mbed TLS 2.18+.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-03-05 22:13:52 +08:00
|
|
|
Compatibility with OpenSSL in FIPS mode
|
|
|
|
|
OpenVPN will now work with OpenSSL in FIPS mode. Note, no effort
|
|
|
|
|
has been made to check or implement all the
|
|
|
|
|
requirements/recommendation of FIPS 140-2. This just allows OpenVPN
|
|
|
|
|
to be run on a system that be configured OpenSSL in FIPS mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Require at least 100MB of mlock()-able memory if --mlock is used.
If --mlock is used, the amount of memory OpenVPN can use is guarded
by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK value (see mlockall(2)). The OS default for this
is usually 64 Kbyte, which is enough for OpenVPN to initialize, but
as soon as the first TLS handshake comes it, OpenVPN will crash due
to "ouf of memory", and might even end up in a crash loop.
Steady-state OpenVPN requires between 8 MB and 30-50 MB (servers with
many concurrent clients) of memory. TLS renegotiation with EC keys
requires up to 90 MB of transient memory.
So: with this patch, we check if getrlimit() is available, and if yes,
log the amount of mlock'able memory. If the amount is below 100 MB,
which is an arbitrary value "large enough for most smaller deployments",
we try to increase the limits to 100 MB, and abort if this fails.
v2:
change arbitrary number to 100 MB, introduce #define for it
not only check but also increase with setrlimit()
uncrustify fixes
v3:
OpenSolaris has mlockall() and getrlimit(), but no RLIMIT_MEMLOCK -
make code conditional on HAVE_GETRLIMIT *and* RLIMIT_MEMLOCK

|
|
|
``mlock`` will now check if enough memlock-able memory has been reserved,
|
|
|
|
|
and if less than 100MB RAM are available, use setrlimit() to upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
the limit. See Trac #1390. Not available on OpenSolaris.
|
|
|

|
2021-03-21 22:33:53 +08:00
|
|
|
Certificate pinning/verify peer fingerprint
|
|
|
|
|
The ``--peer-fingerprint`` option has been introduced to give users an
|
|
|
|
|
easy to use alternative to the ``tls-verify`` for matching the
|
|
|
|
|
fingerprint of the peer. The option takes use a number of allowed
|
|
|
|
|
SHA256 certificate fingerprints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-07-28 23:49:22 +08:00
|
|
|
See the man page section "Small OpenVPN setup with peer-fingerprint"
|
|
|
|
|
for a tutorial on how to use this feature. This is also available online
|
|
|
|
|
under https://github.com/openvpn/openvpn/blob/master/doc/man-sections/example-fingerprint.rst
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-09-08 23:41:57 +08:00
|
|
|
TLS mode with self-signed certificates
|
|
|
|
|
When ``--peer-fingerprint`` is used, the ``--ca`` and ``--capath`` option
|
|
|
|
|
become optional. This allows for small OpenVPN setups without setting up
|
|
|
|
|
a PKI with Easy-RSA or similar software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-04-07 23:49:51 +08:00
|
|
|
Deferred auth support for scripts
|
|
|
|
|
The ``--auth-user-pass-verify`` script supports now deferred authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pending auth support for plugins and scripts
|
|
|
|
|
Both auth plugin and script can now signal pending authentication to
|
|
|
|
|
the client when using deferred authentication. The new ``client-crresponse``
|
|
|
|
|
script option and ``OPENVPN_PLUGIN_CLIENT_CRRESPONSE`` plugin function can
|
|
|
|
|
be used to parse a client response to a ``CR_TEXT`` two factor challenge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See ``sample/sample-scripts/totpauth.py`` for an example.

Require at least 100MB of mlock()-able memory if --mlock is used.
If --mlock is used, the amount of memory OpenVPN can use is guarded
by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK value (see mlockall(2)). The OS default for this
is usually 64 Kbyte, which is enough for OpenVPN to initialize, but

Compatibility mode (``--compat-mode``)
|
|
|
|
|
The modernisation of defaults can impact the compatibility of OpenVPN 2.6.0
|
|
|
|
|
with older peers. The options ``--compat-mode`` allows UIs to provide users
|
|
|
|
|
with an easy way to still connect to older servers.

|
Deprecated features
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
``inetd`` has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
This was a very limited and not-well-tested way to run OpenVPN, on TCP
|
|
|
|
|
and TAP mode only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-03-22 17:16:21 +08:00
|
|
|
``verify-hash`` has been deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
This option has very limited usefulness and should be replaced by either
|
|
|
|
|
a better ``--ca`` configuration or with a ``--tls-verify`` script.
|
2020-12-15 01:24:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2021-03-28 17:05:30 +08:00
|
|
|
``secret`` has been deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
static key mode (non-TLS) is no longer considered "good and secure enough"
|
|
|
|
|
for today's requirements. Use TLS mode instead. If deploying a PKI CA
|
|
|
|
|
is considered "too complicated", using ``--peer-fingerprint`` makes
|
|
|
|
|
TLS mode about as easy as using ``--secret``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-05-20 23:11:47 +08:00
|
|
|
``ncp-disable`` has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
This option mainly served a role as debug option when NCP was first
|
|
|
|
|
introduced. It should now no longer be necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-09-14 03:29:29 +08:00
|
|
|
TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
``tls-version-min`` is set to 1.2 by default. OpenVPN 2.6.0 defaults
|
|
|
|
|
to a minimum TLS version of 1.2 as TLS 1.0 and 1.1 should be generally
|
|
|
|
|
avoided. Note that OpenVPN versions older than 2.3.7 use TLS 1.0 only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-09-04 17:56:26 +08:00
|
|
|
``--cipher`` argument is no longer appended to ``--data-ciphers``
|
|
|
|
|
by default. Data cipher negotiation has been introduced in 2.4.0
|
|
|
|
|
and been significantly improved in 2.5.0. The implicit fallback
|
|
|
|
|
to the cipher specified in ``--cipher`` has been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
Effectively, ``--cipher`` is a no-op in TLS mode now, and will
|
|
|
|
|
only have an effect in pre-shared-key mode (``--secret``).
|
|
|
|
|
From now on ``--cipher`` should not be used in new configurations
|
|
|
|
|
for TLS mode.
|
|
|
|
|
Should backwards compatibility with older OpenVPN peers be
|
|
|
|
|
required, please see the ``--compat-mode`` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-09-04 17:56:25 +08:00
|
|
|
Compression no longer enabled by default
|
|
|
|
|
Unless an explicit compression option is specified in the configuration,
|
|
|
|
|
``--allow-compression`` defaults to ``no`` in OpeNVPN 2.6.0.
|
|
|
|
|
By default, OpenVPN 2.5 still allowed a server to enable compression by
|
|
|
|
|
pushing compression related options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-08-28 03:00:14 +08:00
|
|
|
PF (Packet Filtering) support has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
The built-in PF functionality has been removed from the code base. This
|
|
|
|
|
feature wasn't really easy to use and was long unmaintained.
|
|
|
|
|
This implies that also ``--management-client-pf`` and any other compile
|
|
|
|
|
time or run time related option do not exist any longer.

User-visible Changes
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
- CHACHA20-POLY1305 is included in the default of ``--data-ciphers`` when available.

Overview of changes in 2.5
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
2018-10-22 19:45:15 +08:00
|
|
|
Client-specific tls-crypt keys (``--tls-crypt-v2``)
|
|
|
|
|
``tls-crypt-v2`` adds the ability to supply each client with a unique
|
|
|
|
|
tls-crypt key. This allows large organisations and VPN providers to profit
|
|
|
|
|
from the same DoS and TLS stack protection that small deployments can
|
|
|
|
|
already achieve using ``tls-auth`` or ``tls-crypt``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-10-08 06:30:34 +08:00
|
|
|
ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher support
|
|
|
|
|
Added support for using the ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher in the OpenVPN data
|
|
|
|
|
channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-09 18:15:56 +08:00
|
|
|
Improved Data channel cipher negotiation
|
2020-07-17 21:47:38 +08:00
|
|
|
The option ``ncp-ciphers`` has been renamed to ``data-ciphers``.
|
|
|
|
|
The old name is still accepted. The change in name signals that
|
|
|
|
|
``data-ciphers`` is the preferred way to configure data channel
|
|
|
|
|
ciphers and the data prefix is chosen to avoid the ambiguity that
|
|
|
|
|
exists with ``--cipher`` for the data cipher and ``tls-cipher``
|
|
|
|
|
for the TLS ciphers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-09 18:15:56 +08:00
|
|
|
OpenVPN clients will now signal all supported ciphers from the
|
2020-07-17 21:47:38 +08:00
|
|
|
``data-ciphers`` option to the server via ``IV_CIPHERS``. OpenVPN
|
|
|
|
|
servers will select the first common cipher from the ``data-ciphers``
|
2020-07-09 18:15:56 +08:00
|
|
|
list instead of blindly pushing the first cipher of the list. This
|
|
|
|
|
allows to use a configuration like
|
2020-07-17 21:47:38 +08:00
|
|
|
``data-ciphers ChaCha20-Poly1305:AES-256-GCM`` on the server that
|
2020-07-09 18:15:56 +08:00
|
|
|
prefers ChaCha20-Poly1305 but uses it only if the client supports it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-08-10 17:00:32 +08:00
|
|
|
See the data channel negotiation section in the manual for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removal of BF-CBC support in default configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
By default OpenVPN 2.5 will only accept AES-256-GCM and AES-128-GCM as
|
|
|
|
|
data ciphers. OpenVPN 2.4 allows AES-256-GCM,AES-128-GCM and BF-CBC when
|
2020-08-15 20:05:21 +08:00
|
|
|
no --cipher and --ncp-ciphers options are present. Accepting BF-CBC can be
|
2020-08-10 17:00:32 +08:00
|
|
|
enabled by adding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:BF-CBC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and when you need to support very old peers also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To offer backwards compatibility with older configs an *explicit*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cipher BF-CBC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the configuration will be automatically translated into adding BF-CBC
|
|
|
|
|
to the data-ciphers option and setting data-ciphers-fallback to BF-CBC
|
|
|
|
|
(as in the example commands above). We strongly recommend to switching
|
|
|
|
|
away from BF-CBC to a more secure cipher.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-15 17:01:05 +08:00
|
|
|
Asynchronous (deferred) authentication support for auth-pam plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
See src/plugins/auth-pam/README.auth-pam for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-20 22:27:03 +08:00
|
|
|
Deferred client-connect
|
|
|
|
|
The ``--client-connect`` option and the connect plugin API allow
|
|
|
|
|
asynchronous/deferred return of the configuration file in the same way
|
|
|
|
|
as the auth-plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-26 07:48:03 +08:00
|
|
|
Faster connection setup
|
|
|
|
|
A client will signal in the ``IV_PROTO`` variable that it is in pull
|
|
|
|
|
mode. This allows the server to push the configuration options to
|
|
|
|
|
the client without waiting for a ``PULL_REQUEST`` message. The feature
|
|
|
|
|
is automatically enabled if both client and server support it and
|
|
|
|
|
significantly reduces the connection setup time by avoiding one
|
|
|
|
|
extra packet round-trip and 1s of internal event delays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-08-12 18:08:21 +08:00
|
|
|
Netlink support
|
|
|
|
|
On Linux, if configured without ``--enable-iproute2``, configuring IP
|
|
|
|
|
addresses and adding/removing routes is now done via the netlink(3)
|
|
|
|
|
kernel interface. This is much faster than calling ``ifconfig`` or
|
|
|
|
|
``route`` and also enables OpenVPN to run with less privileges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If configured with --enable-iproute2, the ``ip`` command is used
|
|
|
|
|
(as in 2.4). Support for ``ifconfig`` and ``route`` is gone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wintun support
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows, OpenVPN can now use ``wintun`` devices. They are faster
|
|
|
|
|
than the traditional ``tap9`` tun/tap devices, but do not provide
|
|
|
|
|
``--dev tap`` mode - so the official installers contain both. To use
|
|
|
|
|
a wintun device, add ``--windows-driver wintun`` to your config
|
|
|
|
|
(and use of the interactive service is required as wintun needs
|
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM privileges to enable access).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPv6-only operation
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to have only IPv6 addresses inside the VPN tunnel,
|
|
|
|
|
and IPv6-only address pools (2.4 always required IPv4 config/pools
|
|
|
|
|
and IPv6 was the "optional extra").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Windows 10 detection
|
|
|
|
|
Correctly log OS on Windows 10 now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux VRF support
|
|
|
|
|
Using the new ``--bind-dev`` option, the OpenVPN outside socket can
|
|
|
|
|
now be put into a Linux VRF. See the "Virtual Routing and Forwarding"
|
|
|
|
|
documentation in the man page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TLS 1.3 support
|
|
|
|
|
TLS 1.3 support has been added to OpenVPN. Currently, this requires
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL 1.1.1+.
|
2020-08-15 20:05:21 +08:00
|
|
|
The options ``--tls-ciphersuites`` and ``--tls-groups`` have been
|
2020-08-12 18:08:21 +08:00
|
|
|
added to fine tune TLS protocol options. Most of the improvements
|
|
|
|
|
were also backported to OpenVPN 2.4 as part of the maintainance
|
|
|
|
|
releases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support setting DHCP search domain
|
|
|
|
|
A new option ``--dhcp-option DOMAIN-SEARCH my.example.com`` has been
|
|
|
|
|
defined, and Windows support for it is implemented (tun/tap only, no
|
|
|
|
|
wintun support yet). Other platforms need to support this via ``--up``
|
|
|
|
|
script (Linux) or GUI (OSX/Tunnelblick).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-08-15 20:05:21 +08:00
|
|
|
per-client changing of ``--data-ciphers`` or ``data-ciphers-fallback``
|
2020-08-12 18:08:21 +08:00
|
|
|
from client-connect script/dir (NOTE: this only changes preference of
|
|
|
|
|
ciphers for NCP, but can not override what the client announces as
|
|
|
|
|
"willing to accept")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handle setting of tun/tap interface MTU on Windows
|
|
|
|
|
If IPv6 is in use, MTU must be >= 1280 (Windows enforces IETF requirements)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add support for OpenSSL engines to access private key material (like TPM).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HMAC based auth-token support
|
|
|
|
|
The ``--auth-gen-token`` support has been improved and now generates HMAC
|
|
|
|
|
based user token. If the optional ``--auth-gen-token-secret`` option is
|
|
|
|
|
used clients will be able to seamlessly reconnect to a different server
|
|
|
|
|
using the same secret file or to the same server after a server restart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved support for pending authentication
|
|
|
|
|
The protocol has been enhanced to be able to signal that
|
|
|
|
|
the authentication should use a secondary authentication
|
|
|
|
|
via web (like SAML) or a two factor authentication without
|
|
|
|
|
disconnecting the OpenVPN session with AUTH_FAILED. The
|
|
|
|
|
session will instead be stay in a authenticated state and
|
|
|
|
|
wait for the second factor authentication to complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This feature currently requires usage of the managent interface
|
|
|
|
|
on both client and server side. See the `management-notes.txt`
|
|
|
|
|
``client-pending-auth`` and ``cr-response`` commands for more
|
|
|
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VLAN support
|
|
|
|
|
OpenVPN servers in TAP mode can now use 802.1q tagged VLANs
|
|
|
|
|
on the TAP interface to separate clients into different groups
|
|
|
|
|
that can then be handled differently (different subnets / DHCP,
|
|
|
|
|
firewall zones, ...) further down the network. See the new
|
|
|
|
|
options ``--vlan-tagging``, ``--vlan-accept``, ``--vlan-pvid``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
802.1q tagging on the client side TAP interface is not handled
|
|
|
|
|
today (= tags are just forwarded transparently to the server).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support building of .msi installers for Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allow unicode search string in ``--cryptoapicert`` option (Windows)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support IPv4 configs with /31 netmasks now
|
|
|
|
|
(By no longer trying to configure ``broadcast x.x.x.x'' in
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig calls, /31 support "just works")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New option ``--block-ipv6`` to reject all IPv6 packets (ICMPv6)
|
|
|
|
|
this is useful if the VPN service has no IPv6, but the clients
|
|
|
|
|
might have (LAN), to avoid client connections to IPv6-enabled
|
|
|
|
|
servers leaking "around" the IPv4-only VPN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``--ifconfig-ipv6`` and ``--ifconfig-ipv6-push`` will now accept
|
|
|
|
|
hostnames and do a DNS lookup to get the IPv6 address to use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Deprecated features
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
For an up-to-date list of all deprecated options, see this wiki page:
|
|
|
|
|
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DeprecatedOptions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``ncp-disable`` has been deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
With the improved and matured data channel cipher negotiation, the use
|
|
|
|
|
of ``ncp-disable`` should not be necessary anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-23 23:59:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``inetd`` has been deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
This is a very limited and not-well-tested way to run OpenVPN, on TCP
|
|
|
|
|
and TAP mode only, which complicates the code quite a bit for little gain.
|
|
|
|
|
To be removed in OpenVPN 2.6 (unless users protest).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-18 01:15:44 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``no-iv`` has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
This option was made into a NOOP option with OpenVPN 2.4. This has now
|
|
|
|
|
been completely removed.
|
2018-10-08 06:30:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2020-07-20 19:30:10 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``--client-cert-not-required`` has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
This option will now cause server configurations to not start. Use
|
|
|
|
|
``--verify-client-cert none`` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-20 19:51:56 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``--ifconfig-pool-linear`` has been removed
|
2020-08-12 18:08:21 +08:00
|
|
|
This option is removed. Use ``--topology p2p`` or ``--topology subnet``
|
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--compress xxx`` is considered risky and is warned against, see below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--key-method 1`` has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-20 19:51:56 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2020-07-20 01:34:32 +08:00
|
|
|
User-visible Changes
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
- If multiple connect handlers are used (client-connect, ccd, connect
|
|
|
|
|
plugin) and one of the handler succeeds but a subsequent fails, the
|
|
|
|
|
client-disconnect-script is now called immediately. Previously it
|
|
|
|
|
was called, when the VPN session was terminated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-17 21:47:32 +08:00
|
|
|
- Support for building with OpenSSL 1.0.1 has been removed. The minimum
|
|
|
|
|
supported OpenSSL version is now 1.0.2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-26 07:48:03 +08:00
|
|
|
- The GET_CONFIG management state is omitted if the server pushes
|
|
|
|
|
the client configuration almost immediately as result of the
|
|
|
|
|
faster connection setup feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-08-15 20:05:21 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``--compress`` is nowadays considered risky, because attacks exist
|
2020-08-12 18:08:21 +08:00
|
|
|
leveraging compression-inside-crypto to reveal plaintext (VORACLE). So
|
2020-08-15 20:05:21 +08:00
|
|
|
by default, ``--compress xxx`` will now accept incoming compressed
|
2020-08-12 18:08:21 +08:00
|
|
|
packets (for compatibility with peers that have not been upgraded yet),
|
|
|
|
|
but will not use compression outgoing packets. This can be controlled with
|
|
|
|
|
the new option ``--allow-compression yes|no|asym``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Stop changing ``--txlen`` aways from OS defaults unless explicitly specified
|
|
|
|
|
in config file. OS defaults nowadays are actually larger then what we used
|
|
|
|
|
to configure, so our defaults sometimes caused packet drops = bad performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- remove ``--writepid`` pid file on exit now
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- plugin-auth-pam now logs via OpenVPN logging method, no longer to stderr
|
|
|
|
|
(this means you'll have log messages in syslog or openvpn log file now)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- use ISO 8601 time format for file based logging now (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:dd)
|
|
|
|
|
(syslog is not affected, nor is ``--machine-readable-output``)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--clr-verify`` now loads all CRLs if more than one CRL is in the same
|
|
|
|
|
file (OpenSSL backend only, mbedTLS always did that)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- when ``--auth-user-pass file`` has no password, and the management interface
|
|
|
|
|
is active, query management interface (instead of trying console query,
|
|
|
|
|
which does not work on windows)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- skip expired certificates in Windows certificate store (``--cryptoapicert``)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--socks-proxy`` + ``--proto udp*`` will now allways use IPv4, even if
|
|
|
|
|
IPv6 is requested and available. Our SOCKS code does not handle IPv6+UDP,
|
|
|
|
|
and before that change it would just fail in non-obvious ways.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- TCP listen() backlog queue is now set to 32 - this helps TCP servers that
|
|
|
|
|
receive lots of "invalid" connects by TCP port scanners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- do no longer print OCC warnings ("option mismatch") about ``key-method``,
|
|
|
|
|
``keydir``, ``tls-auth`` and ``cipher`` - these are either gone now, or
|
|
|
|
|
negotiated, and the warnings do not serve a useful purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``dhcp-option DNS`` and ``dhcp-option DNS6`` are now treated identically
|
|
|
|
|
(= both accept an IPv4 or IPv6 address for the nameserver)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maintainer-visible changes
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
- the man page is now in maintained in .rst format, so building the openvpn.8
|
|
|
|
|
manpage from a git checkout now requires python-docutils (if this is missing,
|
|
|
|
|
the manpage will not be built - which is not considered an error generally,
|
|
|
|
|
but for package builders or ``make distcheck`` it is). Release tarballs
|
|
|
|
|
contain the openvpn.8 file, so unless some .rst is changed, doc-utils are
|
|
|
|
|
not needed for building.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- OCC support can no longer be disabled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- AEAD support is now required in the crypto library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--disable-server`` has been removed from configure (so it is no longer
|
|
|
|
|
possible to build a client-/p2p-only OpenVPN binary) - the saving in code
|
|
|
|
|
size no longer outweighs the extra maintenance effort.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--enable-iproute2`` will disable netlink(3) support, so maybe remove
|
|
|
|
|
that from package building configs (see above)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- support building with MSVC 2019
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- cmocka based unit tests are now only run if cmocka is installed externally
|
|
|
|
|
(2.4 used to ship a local git submodule which was painful to maintain)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--disable-crypto`` configure option has been removed. OpenVPN is now always
|
|
|
|
|
built with crypto support, which makes the code much easier to maintain.
|
|
|
|
|
This does not affect ``--cipher none`` to do a tunnel without encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--disable-multi`` configure option has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Overview of changes in 2.4
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
2015-10-15 22:44:58 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
Seamless client IP/port floating
|
|
|
|
|
Added new packet format P_DATA_V2, which includes peer-id. If both the
|
|
|
|
|
server and client support it, the client sends all data packets in
|
|
|
|
|
the new format. When a data packet arrives, the server identifies peer
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
by peer-id. If peer's ip/port has changed, server assumes that
|
|
|
|
|
client has floated, verifies HMAC and updates ip/port in internal structs.
|
2019-01-24 04:17:17 +08:00
|
|
|
This allows the connection to be immediately restored, instead of requiring
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
a TLS handshake before the server accepts packets from the new client
|
|
|
|
|
ip/port.
|
2015-10-15 22:44:58 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
Data channel cipher negotiation
|
|
|
|
|
Data channel ciphers (``--cipher``) are now by default negotiated. If a
|
|
|
|
|
client advertises support for Negotiable Crypto Parameters (NCP), the
|
|
|
|
|
server will choose a cipher (by default AES-256-GCM) for the data channel,
|
|
|
|
|
and tell the client to use that cipher. Data channel cipher negotiation
|
|
|
|
|
can be controlled using ``--ncp-ciphers`` and ``--ncp-disable``.
|
2016-06-06 05:41:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-11-24 22:04:51 +08:00
|
|
|
A more limited version also works in client-to-server and server-to-client
|
|
|
|
|
scenarios where one of the end points uses a v2.4 client or server and the
|
|
|
|
|
other side uses an older version. In such scenarios the v2.4 side will
|
|
|
|
|
change to the ``--cipher`` set by the remote side, if permitted by by
|
|
|
|
|
``--ncp-ciphers``. For example, a v2.4 client with ``--cipher BF-CBC``
|
|
|
|
|
and ``ncp-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-256-CBC`` can connect to both a v2.3
|
|
|
|
|
server with ``cipher BF-CBC`` as well as a server with
|
|
|
|
|
``cipher AES-256-CBC`` in its config. The other way around, a v2.3 client
|
|
|
|
|
with either ``cipher BF-CBC`` or ``cipher AES-256-CBC`` can connect to a
|
|
|
|
|
v2.4 server with e.g. ``cipher BF-CBC`` and
|
|
|
|
|
``ncp-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-256-CBC`` in its config. For this to work
|
|
|
|
|
it requires that OpenVPN was built without disabling OCC support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
AEAD (GCM) data channel cipher support
|
|
|
|
|
The data channel now supports AEAD ciphers (currently only GCM). The AEAD
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
packet format has a smaller crypto overhead than the CBC packet format,
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. 20 bytes per packet for AES-128-GCM instead of 36 bytes per packet
|
|
|
|
|
for AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA1).
|
2016-05-16 18:13:04 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
ECDH key exchange
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|
The TLS control channel now supports for elliptic curve diffie-hellmann
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
key exchange (ECDH).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-06-29 03:15:38 +08:00
|
|
|
Improved Certificate Revocation List (CRL) processing
|
|
|
|
|
CRLs are now handled by the crypto library (OpenSSL or mbed TLS), instead
|
|
|
|
|
of inside OpenVPN itself. The crypto library implementations are more
|
|
|
|
|
strict than the OpenVPN implementation was. This might reject peer
|
|
|
|
|
certificates that would previously be accepted. If this occurs, OpenVPN
|
|
|
|
|
will log the crypto library's error description.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
Dualstack round-robin DNS client connect
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
Instead of only using the first address of each ``--remote`` OpenVPN
|
|
|
|
|
will now try all addresses (IPv6 and IPv4) of a ``--remote`` entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-11-24 22:04:51 +08:00
|
|
|
Support for providing IPv6 DNS servers
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
A new DHCP sub-option ``DNS6`` is added alongside with the already existing
|
|
|
|
|
``DNS`` sub-option. This is used to provide DNS resolvers available over
|
|
|
|
|
IPv6. This may be pushed to clients where `` --up`` scripts and ``--plugin``
|
|
|
|
|
can act upon it through the ``foreign_option_<n>`` environment variables.
|
2016-11-24 22:04:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
Support for the Windows client picking up this new sub-option is added,
|
|
|
|
|
however IPv6 DNS resolvers need to be configured via ``netsh`` which requires
|
|
|
|
|
administrator privileges unless the new interactive services on Windows is
|
|
|
|
|
being used. If the interactive service is used, this service will execute
|
|
|
|
|
``netsh`` in the background with the proper privileges.
|
2016-11-24 22:04:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
New improved Windows Background service
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|
The new OpenVPNService is based on openvpnserv2, a complete rewrite of the OpenVPN
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
service wrapper. It is intended for launching OpenVPN instances that should be
|
|
|
|
|
up at all times, instead of being manually launched by a user. OpenVPNService is
|
|
|
|
|
able to restart individual OpenVPN processes if they crash, and it also works
|
|
|
|
|
properly on recent Windows versions. OpenVPNServiceLegacy tends to work poorly,
|
|
|
|
|
if at all, on newer Windows versions (8+) and its use is not recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New interactive Windows service
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|
The installer starts OpenVPNServiceInteractive automatically and configures
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
it to start at system startup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interactive Windows service allows unprivileged users to start
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|
OpenVPN connections in the global config directory (usually
|
2016-11-29 03:06:52 +08:00
|
|
|
C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config) using OpenVPN GUI without any
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|
extra configuration.
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|
Users who belong to the built-in Administrator group or to the
|
|
|
|
|
local "OpenVPN Administrator" group can also store configuration
|
2016-11-29 03:06:52 +08:00
|
|
|
files under %USERPROFILE%\\OpenVPN\\config for use with the
|
2016-11-18 21:35:01 +08:00
|
|
|

Authentication tokens
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
In situations where it is not suitable to save user passwords on the client,
|
|
|
|
|
OpenVPN has support for pushing a --auth-token since v2.3. This option is
|
2016-10-29 03:48:40 +08:00
|
|
|
pushed from the server to the client with a token value to be used instead
|
|
|
|
|
of the users password. For this to work, the authentication plug-in would
|
|
|
|
|
need to implement this support as well. In OpenVPN 2.4 --auth-gen-token
|
|
|
|
|
is introduced, which will allow the OpenVPN server to generate a random
|
|
|
|
|
token and push it to the client without any changes to the authentication
|
|
|
|
|
modules. When the clients need to re-authenticate the OpenVPN server will
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
do the authentication internally, instead of sending the re-authentication
|
|
|
|
|
request to the authentication module . This feature is especially
|
|
|
|
|
useful in configurations which use One Time Password (OTP) authentication
|
|
|
|
|
schemes, as this allows the tunnel keys to be renegotiated regularly without
|
2016-10-29 03:48:40 +08:00

any need to supply new OTP codes.

Add AEAD cipher support (GCM)
Add Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD) support for
ciphers, which removes the need for a separate HMAC step. The MAC is
integrated into the cipher and the MAC tag is prepended to the payload.
This patch is inspired by the patch originally submitted by Kenny Root
on the openvpn-devel mailinglist, but does a number things differently:
* Don't support XTS (makes no sense for VPN)
* Don't support CCM (needs extra code to make it actually work)
* Don't force the user to specify "auth none" (that would break
tls-auth)
* Add support for PolarSSL (and change internal API for this)
* Update openvpn frame size ('link mtu') calculation for AEAD modes
* Use the HMAC key as an implicit part of the IV to save 8 bytes per
data channel network packet.
* Also authenticate the opcode/peer-id as AD in P_DATA_V2 packets.
By using the negotiated HMAC key as an implicit part of the IV for
AEAD-mode ciphers in TLS mode, we can save (at least) 8 bytes on each
packet sent. This is particularly interesting for connections which
transfer many small packets, such as remote desktop or voip connections.
The current AEAD-mode ciphers (for now GCM) are based on CTR-mode cipher
operation, which requires the IV to be unique (but does not require
unpredictability).
IV uniqueness is guaranteed by using a combination of at least 64-bits
of the HMAC key (unique per TLS session), and a 32-bit packet counter.
The last 32-bit word of the 128-bit cipher block is not part of the IV,
but is used as a block counter.
AEAD cipher mode is not available for static key mode, since IV
uniqueness is harder the guarantee over sessions, and I believe
supporting AEAD in static key mode too is not worth the extra
complexity. Modern setups should simply use TLS mode.
OpenSSL 1.0.1-1.0.1c will not work with AEAD mode, because those
versions have an unnecessary check that fails to update the cipher if
the tag was not already set. 1.0.1d, which fixes that, was released in
February 2013. People should have updated, and distros should have
backported the fix by now.
Changes in v2:
* Remove extra code that was just for making OpenSSL 1.0.1-1.0.1c work
in AEAD mode.
* Do not make AEAD support configurable in ./configure.
* Get rid of '12' magic constant in openvpn_encrypt_aead().
* Update manpage to explain that --auth is ignored for the data channel
when using an AEAD cipher.
* Move setting the IV in AEAD cipher modes to the IV generation code.
This is a more natural place and now we can pull iv[] into the IV
generation scope.
* Read packet ID directly from packet buffer instead of from iv buffer,
to remove the need for an extra buffer.

Add control channel encryption (--tls-crypt)
This adds a --tls-crypt option, which uses a pre-shared static key (like
the --tls-auth key) to encrypt control channel packets.
Encrypting control channel packets has three main advantages:
* It provides more privacy by hiding the certificate used for the TLS
connection.
* It is harder to identify OpenVPN traffic as such.
* It provides "poor-man's" post-quantum security, against attackers who
will never know the pre-shared key (i.e. no forward secrecy).
Control channel packet encryption
---------------------------------
We propose to use the following encryption method, based on the SIV
construction [0], to achieve nonce misuse-resistant authenticated
encryption:
msg = control channel plaintext
header = opcode (1 byte) || session_id (8 bytes) || packet_id (8
bytes)
Ka = authentication key (256 bits)
Ke = encryption key (256 bits)
(Ka and Ke are pre-shared keys, like with --tls-auth)
auth_tag = HMAC-SHA256(Ka, header || msg)
IV = 128 most-significant bits of auth_tag
ciph = AES256-CTR(Ke, IV, msg)
output = Header || Tag || Ciph
This boils down to the following on-the-wire packet format:
-opcode- || -session_id- || -packet_id- || auth_tag || * payload *
Where
- XXX - means authenticated, and
* XXX * means authenticated and encrypted.
Which is very similar to the current tls-auth packet format, and has the
same overhead as "--tls-auth" with "--auth SHA256".
The use of a nonce misuse-resistant authenticated encryption scheme
allows us to worry less about the risks of nonce collisions. This is
important, because in contrast with the data channel in TLS mode, we
will not be able to rotate tls-crypt keys often or fully guarantee nonce
uniqueness. For non misuse-resistant modes such as GCM [1], [2], the
data channel in TLS mode only has to ensure that the packet counter
never rolls over, while tls-crypt would have to provide nonce uniqueness
over all control channel packets sent by all clients, for the lifetime
of the tls-crypt key.
Unlike with tls-auth, no --key-direction has to be specified for
tls-crypt. TLS servers always use key direction 1, and TLS clients
always use key direction 2, which means that client->server traffic and
server->client traffic always use different keys, without requiring
configuration.
Using fixed, secure, encryption and authentication algorithms makes both
implementation and configuration easier. If we ever want to, we can
extend this to support other crypto primitives. Since tls-crypt should
provide privacy as well as DoS protection, these should not be made
negotiable.
Security considerations:
------------------------
tls-crypt is a best-effort mechanism that aims to provide as much
privacy and security as possible, while staying as simple as possible.
The following are some security considerations for this scheme.
1. The same tls-crypt key is potentially shared by a lot of peers, so it
is quite likely to get compromised. Once an attacker acquires the
tls-crypt key, this mechanism no longer provides any security against
the attacker.
2. Since many peers potentially use the tls-crypt key for a long time, a
lot of data might be encrypted under the tls-crypt key. This leads
to two potential problems:
* The "opcode || session id || packet id" combination might collide.
This might happen in larger setups, because the session id contains
just 64 bits or random. Using the uniqueness requirement from the
GCM spec [3] (a collision probability of less than 2^(-32)),
uniqueness is achieved when using the tls-crypt key for at most
2^16 (65536) connections per process start. (The packet id
includes the daemon start time in the packet ID, which should be
different after stopping and (re)starting OpenPVN.)
And if a collision happens, an attacker can *only* learn whether
colliding packets contain the same plaintext. Attackers will not
be able to learn anything else about the plaintext (unless the
attacker knows the plaintext of one of these packets, of course).
Since the impact is limited, I consider this an acceptable
remaining risk.
* The IVs used in encryption might collide. When two IVs collide, an
attacker can learn the xor of the two plaintexts by xorring the
ciphertexts. This is a serious loss of confidentiality. The IVs
are 128-bit, so when HMAC-SHA256 is a secure PRF (an assumption
that must also hold for TLS), and we use the same uniqueness
requirement from [3], this limits the total amount of control
channel messages for all peers in the setup to 2^48. Assuming a
large setup of 2^16 (65536) clients, and a (conservative) number of
2^16 control channel packets per connection on average, this means
that clients may set up 2^16 connections on average. I think these
numbers are reasonable.
(I have a follow-up proposal to use client-specific tls-auth/tls-crypt
keys to partially mitigate these issues, but let's tackle this patch
first.)

|
|
|
|
are now exported to the environment, where each second and later occurrence
|
|
|
|
|
of a field get _$N appended to it's field name, starting at N=1. For the
|
|
|
|
|
example above, that would result in e.g. X509_0_OU=one, X509_0_OU_1=two.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this breaks setups that rely on the fact that OpenVPN would
|
2019-01-24 04:17:17 +08:00
|
|
|
previously (incorrectly) only export the last occurrence of a field.

|
|
|
|
2016-05-04 04:14:38 +08:00

2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``--connect-timeout`` now specifies the timeout until the first TLS packet
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
is received (identical to ``--server-poll-timeout``) and this timeout now
|
|
|
|
|
includes the removed socks proxy timeout and http proxy timeout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-12-27 03:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
In ``--static`` mode ``connect-timeout`` specifies the timeout for TCP and
|

|
|
|
proxy connection establishment
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
attempts of each remote/connection entry before exiting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--http-proxy-timeout`` and the static non-changeable socks timeout (5s)
|
|
|
|
|
have been folded into a "unified" ``--connect-timeout`` which covers all
|
2016-06-11 22:43:15 +08:00
|
|
|
steps needed to connect to the server, up to the start of the TLS exchange.
|
|
|
|
|
The default value has been raised to 120s, to handle slow http/socks
|
|
|
|
|
proxies graciously. The old "fail TCP fast" behaviour can be achieved by
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
adding "``--connect-timeout 10``" to the client config.
|
2016-06-11 22:43:15 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``--http-proxy-retry`` and ``--sock-proxy-retry`` have been removed. Proxy connections
|
|
|
|
|
will now behave like regular connection entries and generate a USR1 on failure.
|
2016-04-18 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-21 22:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``--connect-retry`` gets an optional second argument that specifies the maximum
|
2016-07-05 23:32:50 +08:00
|
|
|
time in seconds to wait between reconnection attempts when an exponential
|
|
|
|
|
backoff is triggered due to repeated retries. Default = 300 seconds.

- On the client side recursively routed packets, which have the same destination

|
|
as the VPN server, are dropped. This can be disabled with
|
Drop recursively routed packets
v4:
- Account for IP header offset in TAP mode
- Correct handle of non-IP protocols in TAP mode
v3: Use better way of figuring out IP proto version which
does not break TAP mode. Add an option to allow recursive
routing, could be useful when packets sent by openvpn itself
are not subject to the routing tables that would move packets
into the tunnel.
v2: better method naming
On certain OSes (Windows, OS X) when network adapter is
disabled (ethernet cable pulled off, Wi-Fi hardware switch disabled),
operating system starts to use tun as an external interface.
Outgoing packets are routed to tun, UDP encapsulated, given to
routing table and sent to.. tun.
As a consequence, system starts talking to itself on full power,
traffic counters skyrocket and user is not happy.
To prevent that, drop packets which have gateway IP as
destination address.
Tested on Win7/10, OS X, Linux.

/etc/openvpn/client/ directories (depending on unit file). This also avoids

Maintainer-visible changes
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
- OpenVPN no longer supports building with crypto support, but without TLS
|
|
|
|
|
support. As a consequence, OPENSSL_CRYPTO_{CFLAGS,LIBS} and
|
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_SSL_{CFLAGS,LIBS} have been merged into OPENSSL_{CFLAGS,LIBS}. This
|
|
|
|
|
is particularly relevant for maintainers who build their own OpenSSL library,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. when cross-compiling.
|
2016-12-02 07:09:00 +08:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Linux distributions using systemd is highly encouraged to ship these new unit

allowed crypto algorithms in TLS certificates in mbed TLS builds. The
|
|
|
|
|
default profile is 'legacy' for now, which allows SHA1+, RSA-1024+ and any
|
|
|
|
|
elliptic curve certificates. The default will be changed to the 'preferred'
|
|
|
|

profile in the future, which requires SHA2+, RSA-2048+ and any curve.

=============

Fix mbedtls fingerprint calculation
Commit 'Migrate to mbed TLS 2.x' (86d8cd68) introduced a bug in mbedtls
builds where we would calculate the certificate fingerprint over the
(too-short) 'to-be-signed' length of the certificate, rather than over the
certificate including the signature. Fix that.
The security impact of the incorrect calculation is very minimal; the last
few bytes (max 4, typically 4) are not verified by the fingerprint. We
expect no real-world impact, because users that used this feature before
will notice that it has suddenly stopped working, and users that didn't
will notice that connection setup fails.
Even if the user managed to somehow extract the incorrect hash (e.g. by
reading out the tls_digest_* env vars using a --tls-verify script), the
impact is miminal: the last 4 bytes must still be properly signed by the
CA, and typically contain extension fields, or the last bytes of the
public key (which are hard to choose). The most important bits of the
certificate were always checked: the version, serial, signature algorithm,
issuer, validity and subject.

|
2017-08-16 04:53:01 +08:00
|
|
|
A client could crash a v2.4+ mbedtls server, if that server uses the
|
2017-06-20 01:44:00 +08:00
|
|
|
``--x509-track`` option and the client has a correct, signed and unrevoked

2017-06-19 17:28:36 +08:00
|
|
|
certificate that contains an embedded NUL in the certificate subject.

|
A client could cause a server to leak a few bytes each time it connects to the
|
2019-01-24 04:17:17 +08:00
|
|
|
server. That can eventually cause the server to run out of memory, and thereby
|
2017-06-19 17:28:38 +08:00
|
|
|
causing the server process to terminate. Discovered and reported to the

of the OpenVPN tunnel itself. Clients who do not use the ``--http-proxy``

- ``--verify-hash`` can now take an optional flag which changes the hashing
|
|
|
|
|
algorithm. It can be either SHA1 or SHA256. The default if not provided is
|
|
|
|
|
SHA1 to preserve backwards compatibility with existing configurations.

- Restrict the supported ``--x509-username-field`` extension fields to subjectAltName
|
2017-06-19 17:28:39 +08:00

|
|
and issuerAltName. Other extensions probably didn't work anyway, and would
|
|
|
|
|
cause OpenVPN to crash when a client connects.

Fix mbedtls fingerprint calculation
Commit 'Migrate to mbed TLS 2.x' (86d8cd68) introduced a bug in mbedtls
builds where we would calculate the certificate fingerprint over the
(too-short) 'to-be-signed' length of the certificate, rather than over the
certificate including the signature. Fix that.
The security impact of the incorrect calculation is very minimal; the last
few bytes (max 4, typically 4) are not verified by the fingerprint. We
expect no real-world impact, because users that used this feature before
will notice that it has suddenly stopped working, and users that didn't
will notice that connection setup fails.
Even if the user managed to somehow extract the incorrect hash (e.g. by
reading out the tls_digest_* env vars using a --tls-verify script), the
impact is miminal: the last 4 bytes must still be properly signed by the
CA, and typically contain extension fields, or the last bytes of the
public key (which are hard to choose). The most important bits of the
certificate were always checked: the version, serial, signature algorithm,
issuer, validity and subject.

used, we leaked some memory on each TLS (re)negotiation.

|
- Fix a pre-authentication denial-of-service attack on both clients and
|
|
|
|
|
servers. By sending a too-large control packet, OpenVPN 2.4.0 or v2.4.1 can
|
|
|
|
|
be forced to hit an ASSERT() and stop the process. If ``--tls-auth`` or
|
|
|
|
|
``--tls-crypt`` is used, only attackers that have the ``--tls-auth`` or
|
|
|
|
|
``--tls-crypt`` key can mount an attack.

|

Version 2.4.1
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--remote-cert-ku`` now only requires the certificate to have at least the
|
|
|
|
|
bits set of one of the values in the supplied list, instead of requiring an
|
|
|
|
|
exact match to one of the values in the list.
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--remote-cert-tls`` now only requires that a keyUsage is present in the
|
|
|
|
|
certificate, and leaves the verification of the value up to the crypto
|
|
|
|
|
library, which has more information (i.e. the key exchange method in use)
|
|
|
|
|
to verify that the keyUsage is correct.
|
|
|
|
|
- ``--ns-cert-type`` is deprecated. Use ``--remote-cert-tls`` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
The nsCertType x509 extension is very old, and barely used.
|
|
|
|
|
``--remote-cert-tls`` uses the far more common keyUsage and extendedKeyUsage
|
|
|
|
|
extension instead. Make sure your certificates carry these to be able to
|
|
|
|
|
use ``--remote-cert-tls``.
