Hi,

Sorry, I missed the point that only referenced files are being replaced.

The risk appears to be even less than that of the user replacing ca
(i.e very minor). With a new ca, the user can connect to a server
presenting
a cert from that ca. With crl replaced or removed,  the client can connect
to a server using a revoked cert. Both these cases also need dns or IP
spoofing as you do not allow --remote  to be modified by the user. Unless
admins start misusing crl as an easy way of disabling a remote (among
multiple remotes) listed in <connection> .. </connection>
