Thanks for the report.

OpenVPN does not use SM2 crypto, so that vulnerability is not affecting us.

That said, we did ship 2.5.4 with 1.1.1k, which was an oversight - we should have bumped to 1.1.1l when doing a new release anyway (not because a re-release due to the CVE would have been needed, but "new release, upgrade OpenSSL if there is good reason").

We'll ship 2.5.5 soonish, so we should definitely upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1-latest.

To @stipa, but maybe this needs to go to @mattock... reassign if needed.

2.5.4-I604 rebuild has 1.1.1l (due to commit a0e6707ab3).

So will 2.5.5 -> I think this can be clsoed.
