Форум АНТИЧАТ - OpenVPN 2.0.7 and below: Remote OpenVPN Management Interface Flaw

Код:
There is a flaw (well more a stupid design than anything else) in OpenVPN

2.0.7 (and below) in the the Remote Management Interface that allows an

attacker to gain complete control because there is NO AUTHENTICATION (YES NO

AUTHENTICATION AT ALL!). This can be carried out from within the LAN that

the OpenVPN server is running on, over the VPN itself or via the internet. 

This happens

because the management interface can be binded to an internet accessible IP

address. Not good!



Simply telnet to the OpenVPN server running the remote management interface

on port 7505.

The fix? Make sure you bind the remote management interface to 127.0.0.1 or

a local network address (however, the later will not stop you getting pwned

internally, obviously).



A quote from the OpenVPN guys themselves:



"The management protocol is currently cleartext without an explicit security

layer. For this reason, it is recommended that the management interface

either listen on localhost (127.0.0.1) or on the local VPN address. It's

possible to remotely connect to the management interface over the VPN

itself, though some capabilities will be limited in this mode, such as the

ability to provide private key passwords."



"Future versions of the management interface may allow out-of-band

connections (i.e. not over the VPN) and secured with SSL/TLS."



OMG *&$%*%# software vendors, please don't release stuff without

authentication!
