Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ppp versions 2.4.6 and earlier

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the rc mksid function, located in plugins/radius/util.c, which can be triggered when the PID for pppd exceeds 65535. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a start accounting message to the RADIUS server.

Recommendations For versions 2.4.6 and earlier, consider restricting the PID for pppd to 65535 or less as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
