  - Integer overflow in the getword function in options.c in pppd in Paul's PPP Package (ppp) before 2.4.7     allows attackers to access privileged options via a long word in an options file, which triggers a heap-     based buffer overflow that [corrupts] security-relevant variables. (CVE-2014-3158)

  - Buffer overflow in the rc_mksid function in plugins/radius/util.c in Paul's PPP Package (ppp) 2.4.6 and     earlier, when the PID for pppd is greater than 65535, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (crash) via a start accounting message to the RADIUS server. (CVE-2015-3310)
