Description Josh Bressers 2004-11-02 15:08:55 UTC
Improper verification of header fields lets an attacker make the pppd
server access memory it isn't allowed to, and crash the server.  There
is no possibility of code execution, as there is no data being copied,
just a pointer dereferenced.

More information here.

This issue also affects RHEL2.1

Comment 1 Mark J. Cox 2004-11-03 12:46:21 UTC
This issue is only a DoS on the connection the attacker is using.
