Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for openvpn3-client.

Marc, I'm marking this RC as openvpn3-client is fresh to be included
in trixie and it would be ideal we do not start with an open CVE. It
is really borderline to mark it RC and you feel absolutely strong feel
free to downgrate. Though I'm still convicend it should be made into
trixie before release.

CVE-2025-3908[0]:
| The configuration initialization tool in OpenVPN 3 Linux v20 through
| v24 on Linux allows a local attacker to use symlinks pointing at an
| arbitrary directory which will change the ownership and permissions
| of that destination directory.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
