The xenial patch has additional code. In version 2.3.10, openvpn uses MD5 for PRF and internally for configuration status verification. FIPS 140-2 permits MD5 for PRF, but not as a hash for internal verification. Subsequent versions of openvpn (2.4) was changed upstream to not use MD5, instead uses SHA256. The attached patch provided by atsec uses SHA1 instead of MD5.
