Description

The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. Update: This patch fixes a problem with PPTP and MPPE. Insufficient inputvalidation by the PPP daemon (of the MRU negotiated between client andserver) could trigger a buffer overflow in the kernel MPPE decryptioncode. This problem does not affect ordinary PPP connections, onlysystems using MPPE.
