A memory leak in the `tls_crypt_v2_extract_client_key` function in OpenVPN 2.x allows remote attackers with a valid
4
tls-crypt-v2 client key to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via repeated `HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V3` packets
5
when `tls-crypt-v2` is enabled because the server fails to free existing key contexts before overwriting them during
6
session re-initialisation.

OpenVPN version 2.5.0 through 2.6.20 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 are affected. This is fixed in versions 2.6.21 and 2.7.5.
