["Geoff Crompton" <geoffc@strategicdata.com.au>]

Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-15
Severity: important

Quoting from the SecurityFocus item (bid 12810):
> Linux Kernel (Point-to-Point Protocol) PPP Driver is reported prone to
> an unspecified remote denial of service vulnerability.
> A successful attack can cause a denial of service condition in the
> server and prevent access to legitimate users.
> Linux Kernel 2.6.8 was reported vulnerable.  It is possible that
> subsequent versions are affected as well.
> Due to a lack of details, further information is not available at the
> moment.  This BID will be updated when more information becomes
> available.

Aren't many details listed there, but I thought it would be worth
opening a bug.
