ppp 2.4.6-3.1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ppp (2.4.6-3.1ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - debian/patches/load_ppp_generic_if_needed: load ppp_generic kernel
      module if needed.
    - add EAP-TLS/MPPE support patch from Jan Just Keijser.
    - debian/control: add libssl-dev to Build-Depends for the EAP-TLS patch.
  * debian/patches/ppp-2.4.5-eaptls-mppe-0.994.patch,
    debian/patches/ppp-2.4.6-eaptls-mppe-0.997.patch: updated the EAP-TLS/MPPE
    support patch to the latest version from its upstream (also refreshed it).
  * debian/ppp.preinst: deal with the change in LSB headers start runlevels
    of pppd-dns due to dropping our changes (which are no longer necessary
    since resolvconf is installed in most systems and has been for a while);
    this should probably be kept until the next LTS.

ppp (2.4.6-3.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Urgency high due to fix for DoS vulnerability.
  * Fix buffer overflow in rc_mksid().
    The function converts the PID of pppd to hex to generate a pseudo-unique
    string. If the process id is bigger than 65535 (FFFF), its hex
    representation will be longer than 4 characters, resulting in a buffer
    overflow. This bug can be exploited to cause a remote DoS.
    (Closes: #782450)
