number generator) parameters. In previous OpenVPN
versions, the PRNG was hardcoded to use the SHA1
hash. Now any OpenSSL hash may be used. This is
part of an effort to remove hardcoded references to
a specific cipher or cryptographic hash algorithm.

it from being combined with --server directive.
Now, for example, we can configure thusly:
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 nopool
ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.99 255.255.255.0
to have ifconfig-pool manage only a subset
of the VPN subnet.

connections by clients that do not specify a username/password, when a
user-defined authentication script/module is in place (via
--auth-user-pass-verify, --management-client-auth, or a plugin module).

domain socket, for example:
management /tmp/openvpn unix
Also added management-client-user and management-client-group
directives to control which processes are allowed to connect
to the socket.

from server (rather than only IP address) for --ifconfig, --route, and
--route-gateway. OpenVPN versions 2.1_rc7 and earlier allowed DNS names
for these options to be pulled and translated to IP addresses by default.
Now --allow-pull-fqdn will be explicitly required on the client to enable
DNS-name-to-IP-address translation of pulled options.

Fixed separate compile errors in options.c and ntlm.c that occur
on strict C compilers (such as old versions of gcc) that require
that C variable declarations occur at the start of a {} block,
not in the middle.

DHCP proxy mode: Configure server mode for ethernet
bridging using a DHCP-proxy, where clients talk to the
OpenVPN server-side DHCP server to receive their IP address
allocation and DNS server addresses.
Added "--route-gateway dhcp", to enable the extraction
of the gateway address from a DHCP negotiation with the
OpenVPN server-side LAN.
Modified client.conf and server.conf to reflect new option
modes.
Incremented version to 2.1_rc9a.

* All external programs and scripts are now called by execve() on unix and
CreateProcess on Windows.
* The system() function is no longer used.
* Argument lists for external programs and scripts are now built by the new
argv_printf function which natively outputs to string arrays (i.e.
char *argv[] lists), never truncates its output, and eliminates the security
issues inherent in formatting and parsing command lines, and dealing with
argument quoting.
* The --script-security directive has been added to offer policy controls on
OpenVPN's execution of external programs and scripts.
Also added a new plugin example (openvpn/plugin/examples/log.c) that logs
information to stdout for every plugin method called by OpenVPN.

Added client authentication and packet filtering capability
to management interface.
Extended packet filtering capability to work on both --dev tun
and --dev tap tunnels.
Updated valgrind-suppress file.
Made "Linux ip addr del failed" error nonfatal.
Amplified --client-cert-not-required warning.
Added #pragma pack to proto.h.

Support asynchronous authentication by plugins by allowing
OPENVPN_PLUGIN_AUTH_USER_PASS_VERIFY to return
OPENVPN_PLUGIN_FUNC_DEFERRED. See comments in
openvpn-plugin.h for documentation. Enabled by ENABLE_DEF_AUTH.
Added a simple packet filter functionality that can be driven by
a plugin. See comments in openvpn-plugin.h for documentation.
Enabled by ENABLE_PF.
See openvpn/plugin/defer/simple.c for examples of ENABLE_DEF_AUTH
and ENABLE_PF.
"TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync" is no longer a
fatal error for TCP-based sessions, since the error can arise
normally in the course of deferred authentication. In a related
change, allow packet-id sequence to begin at some number n > 0 for
TCP sessions, rather than strictly requiring sequence to begin
at 1.
Added a test to configure.ac for LoadLibrary function on Windows.
Modified "make dist" function to include all files from
install-win32 so that ./domake-win can be run from a
tarball-expanded directory.
setenv and setenv-safe directives may now omit a value argument
which defaults to "".

by allowing openvpn --mktun to be used with --user and --group
to set the UID/GID of the tun device node. Also added --iproute
option to allow an alternative command to be executed in place
of the default iproute2 command (Alon Bar-Lev).

it into QCA (Qt Cryptographic Architecture), so that KDE 4 will finally be
able to use smartcards.
The changes allows the following features:
1. Thread safe, is activated if USE_PTHREAD.
2. Slot event - Will allow us in the future to disconnect VPN when smartcard
is removed. In order to support this OpenVPN must support threading... At
least SIGUSR1 from a different thread. Threading should be supported in both
Windows and Linux. -- currently disabled.
When I talk about threading support it is just support in configuration script
and that the method that SIGUSR1 self can be called from a different thread.
I already handle the monitor threads.
3. Certificate enumeration - Will allow us to finally have one configuration
file for all users! When you add the plugin GUI stuff you talked about, we will
be able to display a list of available certificates for the user to select.
-- currently disabled.
4. Data object manipulation - Will allow us to store tls-auth on the smartcard
as well. -- currently disabled.
5. Many other minor improvements.

malicious or compromised server could potentially receive
"setenv" configuration directives from the server which could
cause arbitrary code execution on the client via a LD_PRELOAD
attack. A successful attack appears to require that (a) the
client has agreed to allow the server to push configuration
directives to it by including "pull" or the macro "client" in
its configuration file, (b) the client configuration file uses
a scripting directive such as "up" or "down", (c) the client
succesfully authenticates the server, (d) the server is
malicious or has been compromised and is under the control of
the attacker, and (e) the attacker has at least some level of
pre-existing control over files on the client (this might be
accomplished by having the server respond to a client web request
with a specially crafted file).
The fix is to disallow "setenv" to be pushed to clients from
the server, and to add a new directive "setenv-safe" which is
pushable from the server, but which appends "OPENVPN_" to the
name of each remotely set environmental variable.
