Changes:
ppp (2.4.6-3.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Urgency high due to fix for DoS vulnerability.
  * Fix buffer overflow in rc_mksid().
    The function converts the PID of pppd to hex to generate a pseudo-unique
    string. If the process id is bigger than 65535 (FFFF), its hex
    representation will be longer than 4 characters, resulting in a buffer
    overflow. This bug can be exploited to cause a remote DoS.
    (Closes: #782450)
