Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

ppp could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description: - ppp: Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

Details:

It was discovered that ppp incorrectly handled large PIDs. When pppd is used with a RADIUS server, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause it to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
ppp 2.4.5-5.1ubuntu3.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
ppp 2.4.5-5.1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
ppp 2.4.5-5ubuntu1.2

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
