[slackware-security] openvpn

New openvpn packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0,

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/openvpn-2.3.6-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue that allows remote authenticated
users to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a small control
channel packet.
