NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ppp package and not the ppp package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Buffer overflow in the rc_mksid function in plugins/radius/util.c in Paul's PPP Package (ppp) 2.4.6 and earlier, when the PID for pppd is greater than 65535, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a start accounting message to the RADIUS server.
