    Package        : pptpd
    Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type   : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0213
    
    Timo Sirainen discovered a vulnerability in pptpd, a Point to Point
    Tunneling Server, which implements PPTP-over-IPSEC and is commonly
    used to create Virtual Private Networks (VPN).  By specifying a small
    packet length an attacker is able to overflow a buffer and execute
    code under the user id that runs pptpd, probably root.  An exploit for
    this problem is already circulating.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.2-1.4.
    
    For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been
    fixed in version 1.0.0-4.2.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.4-0.b3.2.
    
    We recommend that you upgrade your pptpd package immediately.
