    security/easy-rsa: report weak build-ca crypto on CA private keys
    
    By adding to UPDATING and pkg-message, and bumping PORTREVISION so
    as to trigger updates that show these messages so that
    easyrsa users can re-encrypt their CA private keys with AES instead of
    Triple-DES.
    
    It is pointless to add vuln.xml, supported port branch versions,
    main and 2025Q1, already carry a bugfixed Easy-RSA version.

+  easy-rsa (easyrsa) versions between 3.0.5 and 3.1.7 inclusively
+  may have chosen the wrong, a weak, cipher (des-ede3-cbc) when
+  encrypting the CA private keys with the build-ca command, when
+  running on a system where openssl was OpenSSL 3.
+
+  Such CA private keys should be re-encrypted with a stronger cipher
+  in order to protect them better, after upgrading EasyRSA to 3.2.1.
+  To that end, the   easyrsa set-pass ca    command can be used.

+**** SECURITY WARNING FOR PAST security/easy-rsa versions ****
+**** easyrsa may have encrypted your CA private key with a weak cipher
+
+Per CVE-2024-13454, Easy-RSA 3.0.5 inclusively up to and including 3.1.7,
+when used with OpenSSL 3, may have accidentally encrypted the CA private
+key with a weak cipher, des-ede3-cbc, instead of the intended aes-256-cbc,
+when a CA was created with the   easyrsa build-ca   command.
+
+Such mistakes cannot be corrected by upgrading Easy-RSA alone.
+
+The standing recommendation for CA private keys is to 
+re-encrypt the CA privat keys with the aes-256-cbc cipher,
+by using the   easyrsa set-pass ca   command.
+
+For details, see https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/CVE-2024-13454.
