Chained for attack: OpenVPN vulnerabilities discovered leading to RCE and LPE

Microsoft researchers recently identified multiple medium severity vulnerabilities in OpenVPN, an open-source project with binaries integrated into routers, firmware, PCs, mobile devices, and many other smart devices worldwide, numbering in the millions. Attackers could chain and remotely exploit some of the discovered vulnerabilities to achieve an attack chain consisting of remote code execution (RCE) and local privilege escalation (LPE).
