James Yonan reports:

A malicious [authenticated] client in “dev tap”
ethernet bridging mode could theoretically flood the server
with packets appearing to come from hundreds of thousands
of different MAC addresses, causing the OpenVPN process to
deplete system virtual memory as it expands its internal
routing table.
