Hi,

I applied the fix for CVE-2013-2061 [0] to Debian's stable version of
openvpn (2.2.1) [1]. When the new package was sent to the mirrors I got
a couple of reports of broken VPNs [2]. After some testing I think the
problem arises with the use of "multihome" option. The server daemon
starts to log lots of these:
Jun 17 12:43:52 srv ovpn-srv[31073]: write UDPv4 []: Invalid argument (code=22)
Jun 17 12:43:53 srv ovpn-srv[31073]: write UDPv4 []: Invalid argument (code=22)

If the "multihome" option is removed, the VPN comes back to live.

Could a patch to fix this be made or should we go back to 2.2.1 without
the patch to fix CVE-2013-2061?

Thanks,

Alberto
