When memory is released and reallocated, a random security value called a canary is written to the before/after area of memory, and if the value has been modified, the process is terminated (restarted) for safety, assuming it is a buffer overflow of the memory area. This feature may effectively prevent confidentiality or integrity violations in the event that some heap area overflow vulnerability is discovered in this system in the future.
Interface grouping is available on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. This will allow
you to enumerate only SoftEther virtual interfaces or exclude SoftEther
virtual interfaces, and be helpful when making custom scripts to start
DHCP client when virtual interface become up (=VPN connection
established) for example.
Usage examples as follows.
List all interfaces' names available on the system:
```
$ ifconfig -l
vtnet0 lo0 vpn_client0 vpn_client1 vpn_client2
```
Display a list of SoftEther virtual interfaces:
```
$ ifconfig -g softether
vpn_client0
vpn_client1
vpn_client2
```
Display details about SoftEther virtual interfaces that are up:
```
$ ifconfig -a -u -g softether
vpn_client0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

```
Display details about interfaces except for SoftEther virtual interfaces:
```

```
In contrast to Linux, FreeBSD's tap devices are still plumbed after fd
closed. The tap device must be destroyed in addition to closing fd
to delete virtual network interfaces used for VPN connection.
NicDelete command now works properly and virtual network interfaces used
by vpnclient are cleaned up when shutting down vpnclient.

SoftEther VPN vpnserver EnSafeHttpHeaderValueStr denial of service
vulnerability
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the vpnserver
EnSafeHttpHeaderValueStr functionality of SoftEther VPN 5.01.9674 and
5.02. A specially-crafted network packet can lead to denial of service.
specially crafted network packet lead to buffer overrun and process
crash. working exploit was provided by Cisco Talos team.
An integer underflow vulnerability exists in the vpnserver
OvsProcessData functionality of SoftEther VPN 5.01.9674 and 5.02. A
specially-crafted network packet can lead to denial of service. An
attacker can send a malicious packet to trigger this vulnerability.
The versions below were either tested or verified to be vulnerable by
Talos or confirmed to be vulnerable by the vendor.
SoftEther VPN 5.01.9674
SoftEther VPN 5.02
While 5.01.9674 is a development version, it is distributed at the time
of writing by Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions.
Before change, contiguous whitespaces appeared in version string.
This room is for beta string (such as Alpha, Beta) and beta number but
it looks a bit odd if the build is not alpha/beta/RC.
> Version 5.02 Build 5180 Alpha 3 (Japanese)
> Version 5.02 Build 5180 Beta 3 (Japanese)
> Version 5.02 Build 5180 Release Candidate 3 (Japanese)
> Version 5.02 Build 5180 (Japanese)
> ^^^
Now version string looks neat like this:
> Version 5.02 Build 5180 (Japanese)
> Version 5.02 Build 5180 Release Candidate 3 (Japanese)
This is just a cosmetic problem in the result of "Caps" command which
gets the list of server functions/capability. There's no behavioural
change in SoftEtherVPN whether running on VM so far.
