Details - Good morning,

please bump openvpn to 2.4.3, or patch with the CVE-tagged patches in the 2.4.3 release - while most of these bugs will only affect users in specific circumstances, the IPv6 MSS bug is nasty, because it can be used to shut down arbitrary openvpn instances (clean exit(), but still "process gone") by sending a malformed IPv6 packet into the tunnel.
