Last modified
CVE-2014-3158 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the getword function in options.c in pppd in Paul's PPP Package (ppp) before 2.4.7 allows attackers to "access privileged options" via a long word in an options file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow that "[corrupts] security-relevant variables.". EPSS estimates a 3.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
