+<define-tag moreinfo>
+<p>Ilja Van Sprundel discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in ppp,
+the Point-to-Point Protocol daemon. When receiving an EAP Request
+message in client mode, an attacker was able to overflow the rhostname
+array by providing a very long name. This issue is also mitigated by
+Debian's hardening build flags.</p>
+
+<p>For Debian 8 <q>Jessie</q>, this problem has been fixed in version
+2.4.6-3.1+deb8u1.</p>
+
+<p>We recommend that you upgrade your ppp packages.</p>
