From c5590a6821e37f3b29735f55eb0c2b9c0924138c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Drop too-short control channel packets instead of asserting
out.
This fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability where an authenticated client
could stop the server by triggering a server-side ASSERT().
OpenVPN would previously ASSERT() that control channel packets have a
payload of at least 4 bytes. An authenticated client could trigger this
assert by sending a too-short control channel packet to the server.
Thanks to Dragana Damjanovic for reporting the issue.
This bug has been assigned CVE-2014-8104.
