Maybe.  This:

 III. Impact

 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
 certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
 used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

could potentially impact OpenVPN, allowing someone the ability to see
your OpenVPN traffic, unencrypted. But it requires being able to
intercept your traffic, which is difficult unless the attacker is on
the same network or has already compromised your network. And I'm not
aware of any remotely easy means of exploiting this, even for someone
that can intercept your traffic.

No. 1.2.2 is coming. This issue isn't anything to be concerned about.
