17-year-old Linux flaw discovered
Many Linux-based operating systems have been found to be affected by a security flaw which has existed for 17 years.
The US-Cert has highlighted that PPPD (Point to Point Protocol Daemon) versions 2.4.2 to 2.4.8 are "vulnerable to buffer overflow due to a flaw in Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) packet processing in eap_request and eap_response subroutines."
