Fedora 32 OpenVPN: FEDORA-2020-c1cb4ebcd9 Low Severity Timing Attack Issue

OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application that uses all

of the encryption, authentication, and certification features of the

OpenSSL library to securely tunnel IP networks over a single UDP or TCP

port. It can use the Marcus Franz Xaver Johannes Oberhumers LZO library

for compression.

Update to latest upstream OpenVPN 2.4.9 release. It contains a security fix for

CVE-2020-11810. This security issue is quite hard to abuse, requiring a fairly

precise timing attack combined with guessing a just assigned peer-id reference.

If successful, only a single client just initiating a new connection will

experience a denial of service situation. This wi why the severity is rated

low.
