Package: openvpn
Version: 2.0.9-4etch1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


In debian stable, openvpn is bugged:

dpkg -l|grep openvpn
ii openvpn 2.0.9-4etch1 Virtual Private Network daemon

apt-listbugs list openvpn
grave bugs of openvpn (2.0.9-4etch1 -> ) <done>
#483723 - /usr/sbin/openssl-vulnkey: not found (Fixed: openvpn/2.1~rc7-3)
#483020 - openssl-vulnkey hangs on connecting (Fixed: openvpn/2.1~rc7-4)
serious bugs of openvpn (2.0.9-4etch1 -> ) <done>

So I do:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and I see:
[...]
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded
and
apt-get install openvpn
openvpn is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded

If already there's openvpn2.1-rc7-4 without some bugs, why the stable distro 
doesn't show me any upgrades?

I prefer not install openvpn from unstable or however using a mix distro, 
because this server is for production of work.

Why the new version of openvpn is not present on the stable debian reposity?

thanks :-)
