Detail

Thomas Walpuski reported a buffer overflow in l2tpd, an implementation of the layer 2 tunneling protocol, whereby a remote attacker could potentially cause arbitrary code to be executed by transmitting a specially crafted packet. The exploitability of this vulnerability has not been verified.

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 0.67-1.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.70-pre20031121-2.

We recommend that you update your l2tpd package.

Id Description
6726 l2tpd control.c write_packet Function Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in l2tpd. The l2tpd program fails to check the boundary in the write_packet() function in control.c, resulting in a buffer overflow. By establishing an L2TP tunnel and then sending a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker can overflow a buffer, resulting in a loss of integrity.
