[OpenVPN-NL] OpenVPN-NL v2.3.4-nl1 released

[Steffan Karger]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

A new version of OpenVPN-NL (2.3.4-nl1) is available on the OpenVPN-NL
site [1].  This version is based on OpenVPN 2.3.4, and PolarSSL 1.2.11
[2].

The new version of OpenVPN-NL includes a new PolarSSL release, which
fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability when GCM TLS-cipher suites were
used [3]. A successful attack could compromise the availability, but
would *not* compromise confidentiality. In OpenVPN-NL, this
denial-of-service attack can only be exploited when the group key
("tls-auth") has been compromised.

We strongly recommend that you upgrade to the new version of OpenVPN-NL.


Important note for plugin/script users:

This release changes the representation of the tls_serial_{n}
environment variable from hex to decimal, to match upstream OpenVPN
behaviour.

To ease transition for plugin/script users, a new env variable
tls_serial_hex_{n} is added, that exports the serial in hex
represenation (like tls_serial_{n} previously did).
