Timo Sirainen discovered a vulnerability in pptpd, a Point to Point Tunneling Server, which implements PPTP-over-IPSEC and is commonly used to create Virtual Private Networks (VPN). By specifying a small packet length an attacker is able to overflow a buffer and execute code under the user id that runs pptpd, probably root. An exploit for this problem is already circulating.
