CVE-2022-0547:
(needs triaging)
OpenVPN 2.1 until v2.4.12 and v2.5.6 may enable authentication bypass in external authentication plug-ins when more than one of them makes use of deferred authentication replies, which allows an external user to be granted access with only partially correct credentials.
Among the 3 debian patches
available in version 2.7.0~rc2-2 of the package,
we noticed the following issues:
2 patches
where the metadata indicates that the patch has not yet been forwarded

metadata to document its real status.

wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy
(Standards-Version 4.7.2 instead of
4.6.0.1).
