    <p>
    Thomas Walpuski discovered a buffer overflow that may be exploitable by
    sending a specially crafted packet. In order to exploit the vulnerable
    code, an attacker would need to fake the establishment of an L2TP tunnel.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges
    of the user running l2tpd.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround for this vulnerability.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All users are recommended to upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-l2tpd-0.69-r2"
    # emerge "&gt;=net-l2tpd-0.69-r2"</code>
