+ <blockquote cite="http://www.osreviews.net/reviews/security/openvpn-print">
+ <p>OpenVPN clients are a bit too generous when accepting
+ configuration options from a server. It is possible to transmit
+ environment variables to client-side shell scripts. There are some
+ filters in place to prevent obvious nonsense, however they don't
+ catch the good old LD_PRELOAD trick. All we need is to put a file
+ onto the client under a known location (e.g. by returning a
+ specially crafted document upon web access) and we have a remote
+ root exploit. But since the attack may only come from authenticated
+ servers, this threat is greatly reduced.</p>
