+  <title>ppp: No denial of service vulnerability</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    pppd contains a bug that allows an attacker to crash his own connection,
+    but it cannot be used to deny service to other users.
+  </synopsis>
+  <product type="ebuild">ppp</product>
+  <announced>2004-11-01</announced>
+  <revised count="02">2004-11-02</revised>

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    ppp is a Unix implementation of the Point-to-Point Protocol.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    The pppd server improperly verifies header fields, potentially leading to a
+    crash of the pppd process handling the connection. However, since a
+    separate pppd process handles each ppp connection, this would not affect
+    any other connection, or prevent new connections from being established.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    We incorrectly thought that this bug could be exploited to deny service to
+    all ppp users. It is not the case, this bug has no security impact
+    whatsoever. Many thanks to Paul Mackerras from the Samba team for
+    correcting our mistake.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no need for a workaround.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    ppp users can keep their current versions.
+    </p>
