Topics

• Updated: OpenVPN 2.7.x releases
  2.7.2 and 2.6.20 were released last week. They address CVE issues (see details on https://community.openvpn.net/Downloads ).
  Unfortunately an issue slipped through in regards to handling credentials stored inline in config files. So a 2.7.3 was released on Monday 27 april to address that particular issue.
  There is now an investigation ongoing with a small issue with DNS implementation on 2.7.2 and 2.7.3.
  A small 2.7.4 release will follow soon to solve that particular issue too.

  The security audit was completed for 2.7.0 and results are available internally.
  We are working to publish this in an official blog post. ordex and novaflash are driving this in OpenVPN Inc. internally.

• t_server and t_client testing framework
  We still need to move this to OpenVPN Inc provided AWS Community infrastructure.
  After 2.6.20/2.7.2 releases we'll focus on handling this.
