Fixed potential local privilege escalation vulnerability in
Windows service. The Windows service did not properly quote the
executable filename passed to CreateService. A local attacker
with write access to the root directory C:\ could create an
executable that would be run with the same privilege level as
the OpenVPN Windows service. However, since non-Administrative
users normally lack write permission on C:\, this vulnerability
is generally not exploitable except on older versions of Windows
(such as Win2K) where the default permissions on C:\ would allow
any user to create files there.

When only a single IP address is desired from a multi-address DNS
expansion, use the first address rather than a random selection.

easier for OpenVPN client UIs to start a pre-existing client config file with
proxy options, or to adaptively fall back to a proxy connection if a direct
connection fails.

passed through as a part of --management-client-auth

or "dhcp-renew" options were combined with "route-gateway dhcp".
The problem is that the IP Helper functions for DHCP release and
renew are blocking, and so calling them from a single-threaded
client stops tunnel traffic forwarding, and hence breaks
"route-gateway dhcp" which requires an active tunnel. The fix is
to call the IP Helper functions for DHCP release and renew from
another process.

to clients, including routes. Previously, all pushed options needed
to fit within a 1024 byte options string.
Remember that to make use of this feature to allow many routes to
be pushed to clients, the client config file must specify the
max-routes option, and the number of pushed routes cannot exceed
this limit. Also, both server and client must include this commit.

after connection initiation rather than 0 seconds after.
Successive PUSH_REQUEST messages after the first will continue to be
sent at 5 second intervals until a response is received. This tends
to speed up the client connection sequence by 4 seconds because the
first PUSH_REQUEST message is usually sent too soon and is dropped,
causing a wait of 5 seconds until the next PUSH_REQUEST message is
sent.

use a DPC (deferred procedure call) to defer packet injection until
IRQL < DISPATCH_LEVEL, rather than calling NdisMEthIndicateReceive
in the context of AdapterTransmit. This is an attempt to reduce kernel
stack usage, and prevent EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT BSODs that have been
observed on Vista. Updated TAP driver version number to 9.6.

client will examine the routing table and determine whether (a) the
OpenVPN server is reachable via a locally connected interface, or (b)
traffic to the server must be forwarded through the default router.
Only add a special bypass route for the OpenVPN server if (b) is true.
If (a) is true, behave as if the 'local' flag is specified, and do not
add a bypass route.
The new 'autolocal' flag depends on the non-portable test_local_addr()
function in route.c, which is currently only implemented for Windows.
The 'autolocal' flag will act as a no-op on platforms that have not
yet defined a test_local_addr() function.
Increased TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE to 2048 from 1024 (this will allow for
more option content to be pushed from server to client).
Raised D_MULTI_DROPPED debug level to 4 from 3.

versions, the PRNG was hardcoded to use the SHA1

part of an effort to remove hardcoded references to
a specific cipher or cryptographic hash algorithm.
