Change logs for ppp source package in Jessie

  • ppp (2.4.6-3.1) unstable; urgency=high
    
    
      * Non-maintainer upload.
      * Urgency high due to fix for DoS vulnerability.
      * Fix buffer overflow in rc_mksid().
        The function converts the PID of pppd to hex to generate a pseudo-unique
        string. If the process id is bigger than 65535 (FFFF), its hex
        representation will be longer than 4 characters, resulting in a buffer
        overflow. This bug can be exploited to cause a remote DoS.
        (Closes: #782450)

        - Update debian/rules to pass COPTS/LDOPTS instead of CFLAGS/LDFLAGS.

          zzz_config patches due to significant Makefile changes.
