Package: openvpn
Version: 2.4.0-6+deb9u2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

This is a known openvpn 2.4 bug, and upstream has it fixed
(https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/commit/3322c558fa742cb823fa919f682486973abc4f8e
and https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/904).
This fix has not been backported to Jessie backports or Stretch.

This effects anybody using 2-FA in their configuration, as value of
--auth-token will never be used.

The existence of this bug is especially bad in Network Manager OpenVPN,
because it hard-codes using the --auth-nocache without possibility of
not using it.
