CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 1.90%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.90%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Improper input validation together with an integer overflow in the EAP-TLS protocol implementation in PPPD may cause a crash, information disclosure, or authentication bypass. This implementation is distributed as a patch for PPPD 0.91, and includes the affected eap.c and eap-tls.c files. Configurations that use the `refuse-app` option are unaffected.
