StrCat() appends a string to an already existing string. In order to know where the existing string ends, it uses StrLen() which in turn uses strlen(), a function considered unsafe because it doesn't stop until it finds the null character.
Since the string was allocated but not initialized, StrCat() was either:
- Working correctly.
- Copying only a part of the string.
- Making the program crash via strlen().
The fix consists in using StrCpy(), which starts writing at the beginning of the string.
SSL_free() also frees the associated context.
d6c3c1896c/ssl/ssl_lib.c (L1209)
From https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_free.html:
"SSL_free() also calls the free()ing procedures for indirectly affected items, if applicable: the buffering BIO, the read and write BIOs, cipher lists specially created for this ssl, the SSL_SESSION. Do not explicitly free these indirectly freed up items before or after calling SSL_free(), as trying to free things twice may lead to program failure."

To fix the bug of OpenVPN 2.4.6 and particular version of kernel mode TAP driver on Linux, the TAP device must be up after the OpenVPN client is connected. However there is no direct push instruction to do so to OpenVPN client. Therefore we push the dummy IPv4 address (RFC7600) to the OpenVPN client to enforce the TAP driver UP state.
