Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2016-04-07 15:19:42 UTC 
openvpn versions before 2.3.9 contained a bug where the code would read invalid memory. I don't know if this is exploitable in any way, but similar issues usually get handled as vulnerabilities unless proven otherwise. (this one didn't get a CVE, but this is probably due to the general CVE-hiccups currently going on.)

We already have 2.3.10-r1 in tree since a while, so I propose stabilizing that.
