Hi,

OpenVPN can use DSA certificates if you choose one of the following --tls-cipher:

   DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA
   EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA
   DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA
   EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA
   EXP-EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA

If someone use one of the above sipher suite, then he should change OpenSSL
version to 0.9.8j.

By the way, do you plan to add my patch with ECDH support to OpenVPN?

Andrzej Chmielowiec

I don't believe this issue significantly affects OpenVPN. OpenVPN does not use the EVP_VerifyFinal function. The issue is that some internal OpenSSL functions do not properly check the return value of this function. The issue is primarily of concern if you are using DSA or ECDSA certificates, however these are not generally used with OpenVPN (OpenVPN uses RSA certificates and does not currently support DSA or ECDSA certificates).

Hallo!

I'm sure, you know the "OpenSSL Security Advisory [07-Jan-2009]" (http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20090107.txt)

Because there's absolutely no information on your website, whether OpenVPN is affected and/or a bug-fix will be available, I'd like to ask you to do so.

Many thanks!

Michael
