Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ppxp announced via advisory DSA 725-2. Jens Steube discovered that ppxp, yet another PPP program, does not release root privileges when opening potentially user supplied log files. This can be tricked into opening a root shell. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2001080415-6woody1 (DSA 725-1). For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2001080415-10sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2001080415-11. We recommend that you upgrade your ppxp package. Solution: http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%20725-2 CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
