[slackware-security]  openvpn (SSA:2025-323-01)

New openvpn packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openvpn-2.6.16-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes a security issue:
  Fix memcmp check for the hmac verification in the 3way handshake.
  This bug renders the HMAC based protection against state exhaustion on
  receiving spoofed TLS handshake packets in the OpenVPN server inefficient.
  For more information, see:
    https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2025-13086
  (* Security fix *)
