CVE-2024-24974: Previously, the VPN tool’s Windows implementation allowed remote access to its service pipe, posing a security risk. Using compromised credentials, a threat actor could communicate with OpenVPN to orchestrate attacks. CVE-2024-27903: OpenVPN has mitigated the risk by restricting plugin load. Plugins can now only be loaded from the software’s install directory, the Windows system directory, and the plugin_dir directory under the software’s installation. CVE-2024-27459: This vulnerability affects the interactive service component, potentially leading to local privilege escalation when triggered by an oversized message.To mitigate this risk, the VPN solution now terminates connections upon detecting excessively large messages, preventing stack overflow exploits.

meta-networking
===============
This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related
packages and configuration. It should be useful directly on top of
oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded. It should be primarily useful
to the following groups:
- Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
bridge / switch).
- Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)
