Package        : ppp
Vulnerability  : programming error
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2006-2194

Marcus Meissner discovered that the winbind plugin in pppd does not
check whether a setuid() call has been successful when trying to drop
privileges, which may fail with some PAM configurations.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.3-20050321+2sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.4rel-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ppp package.
