    Are you using selinux? auditing? what is your policy on those?


I had SELinux disabled (permissive) and did not enable any special auditing. The image used is from https://github.com/plus3it/spel and running in AWS.


just tried this on a "plain" CentOS 7 box and I am not seeing any seg faults upon client-connect; this is with the EPEL version of OpenVPN 2.4.7.

The openssl library on RHEL/CentOS 7 is indeed FIPS compliant, but FIPS mode still needs to be explicitly enabled inside an application, usually using FIPS_mode_set(). You can check whether your version of OpenVPN has been patched to do this by running:

# objdump -tT /usr/sbin/openvpn | grep FIPS

( no output, meaning no FIPS calls )

In contrast to:

# objdump -tT /usr/bin/openssl | grep FIPS
0000000000000000      DF *UND*    0000000000000000  libcrypto.so.10 FIPS_mode 0000000000000000      DF *UND*    0000000000000000  libcrypto.so.10 FIPS_mode_set


I've looked at the github page but it's too much of a bother to actually get/build such an image (for my VMware player). If you can provide me with a prebuilt image, including root access I can have a quick peek.

HTH,
