From a28deda59043d2f77a728ad90ee3731c2efd19b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jo-Philipp Wich <jow@openwrt.org> Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 08:49:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] openvpn: disable CBC record splitting in PolarSSL/mbedTLS (#19101) OpenVPN assumes that its control channel messages are sent and received unfragmented, this assumption is broken when CBC record splitting is enabled in mbedTLS. The record splitting is intended as countermeasure against BEAST attacks which do not apply to OpenVPN, therefore we simply disable it until upstream OpenVPN gains the ability to process fragmented control messages. Disabling the splitting also works around a (not remotely triggerable) segmentation fault in mbedTLS.
