OpenVPN Vulnerabilities Lead to Denial of Service Risks OpenVPN has been found to have multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to denial of service and sensitive data leakage. Discovered by researchers Guannan Wang, Zhanpeng Liu, Guancheng Li, and Emma Reuter, these issues affect several Ubuntu releases, including 26.04 LTS and earlier versions. The first vulnerability (CVE-2026-35058) allows attackers to crash OpenVPN by sending malformed packets. The second vulnerability (CVE-2026-40215) involves a race condition in the TLS handshake process, which could leak sensitive packet data. Users are advised to update their systems to mitigate these risks. The vulnerabilities were disclosed on May 20, 2026, and patches are available through standard system updates. 2 sources 58
