- ovpn: fix NULL dereference when killing missing key ovpn_crypto_kill_key assumes both crypto slots are
populated and dereferences each slot before checking it. That is not guaranteed: a peer can have only one
installed key, and the kill path may be asked to remove a key that is not present. Read each slot once
while holding the crypto state lock, check for NULL before looking at key_id, and only replace the slot
that actually matches. (CVE-2026-80520)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
