  This update fixes a security issue:
  By sending an unsolicited EAP packet to a vulnerable ppp client or server,
  an unauthenticated remote attacker could cause memory corruption in the
  pppd process, which may allow for arbitrary code execution.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

ppp:
ppp: The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting
ppp: data over serial links. It's commonly used for connecting to the
ppp: Internet using a modem. This package includes the PPP daemon (pppd),
ppp: which negotiates with the peer to establish the link and sets up the
ppp: ppp network interface, and pppsetup, an easy-to-use utility for
ppp: setting up your PPP daemon.
