CVE-2021-4234
OpenVPN Access Server 2.10 and prior versions are susceptible to resending multiple packets in a response to a reset packet sent from the client which the client again does not respond to, resulting in a limited amplification attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.87%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
