Check for the version of the ppp package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:119 (ppp). Marcus Meissner discovered that pppd's winbind test did not check for the result of the setuid() call which could permit a possible hacker to exploit this on systems with certain PAM limits enabled to execute the NTLM authentication helper as root. This could possibly lead to privilege escalation dependant upon the local winbind configuration. Updated packages have been patched ot correct this issue.
