Subject: PUSH_UPDATE server: check IV_PROTO before sending the message to the client
X-Git-Tag: v2.7_beta3~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=855094893e8cd808ddc74d2e6d392cf04bd06a65;p=thirdparty%2Fopenvpn.git

PUSH_UPDATE server: check IV_PROTO before sending the message to the client

Before sending the PUSH_UPDATE message to the client, we must verify that
the client has actually sent IV_PROTO_PUSH_UPDATE to the server, declaring that
it supports push-updates.

Also fixed a gc_arena memory leak in one of the error paths and asserted
mi->context.c2.tls_multi .
