Greetings, the attached patch was submitted to me in my role as FreeBSD port maintainer by Jaroslav Klaus a while ago, and it hasn't made openvpn 2.0.1. My fault for not sending this on earlier, I simply forgot and figured, when doing the 2.0.1 port, that Jaroslav's patch still applied to the code.
Jaroslav writes: "The current version of OpenVPN in ports tree - 2.0 - has a bug in route.c in FreeBSD, Darwin, OpenBSD and NetBSD version of get_default_gateway. Allocated socket for route manipulation is never freed so number of mbufs continuously growing and exhaust system resources after a while.. Patch is attached." Please consider Jaroslav's patch for inclusion. -- Matthias Andree
