[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN 2.7_beta2 released

[Yuriy D. <yur...@op...>]

The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.7_beta2.
This is a second beta which includes important bugfixes.

Feature changes since 2.7_beta1:

* greatly improved event log handling for the Windows interactive service - this brings build system
changes and a new openvpnservmsg.dll

Important bug fixes since 2.7_beta1:

* add proper input sanitation to DNS strings to prevent an attack coming from a trusted-but-malicous
OpenVPN server (CVE-2025-10680, affects unixoid systems with --dns-updown scripts and windows
using the built-in powershell call)
* bugfixes when using multi-socket on windows (properly recognize that TCP server mode does not work
with DCO, properly handle TCP multi-socket server setups without DCO)
* bring back configuring of IPv4 broadcast addresses on Linux
* repair "--dhcp-option DNS" setting in combination with DHCP (TAP) or "--up" scripts
