A security issue has been found in OpenVPN <= 2.4.1 where an unauthenticated attacker can send a packet with an unexpected payload size during SSL handshake, causing a server shutdown. Servers using tls-auth are protected against this attack as packets with an invalid HMAC are discarded before being processed by the vulnerable code.
