Public bug reported:
We are using network-manager (and network-manager-gnome) to launch vpn
connections. We also use vpn keys with passphrase.
However the latest openssl related security patches break the vpn
connection attempts.
Network manager incorrectly tries to check the validity of the vpn keys using
openssl-vulnkey instead of openvpn-vulnkey. And when openssl-vulnkey with -q
parameter says
"Enter pass phrase for openvpn/markus_laptop.key:", network manager thinks
openssl-vulnkey is reporting a vulnerable key and networkmanager refuses to
continue connection.
I copied /usr/sbin/openvpn-vulnkey onto /usr/sbin/openssl-vulnkey,
retried, and voila, connection was succesful.
** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
