Subject: [PATCH] Fix bounds check in read_key()

The bounds check in read_key() was performed after using the value, instead
of before.  If 'key-method 1' is used, this allowed an attacker to send a
malformed packet to trigger a stack buffer overflow.

Fix this by moving the input validation to before the writes.

Note that 'key-method 1' has been replaced by 'key method 2' as the default
in OpenVPN 2.0 (released on 2005-04-17), and explicitly deprecated in 2.4
and marked for removal in 2.5.  This should limit the amount of users
impacted by this issue.
