Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets Since ppp_async_encode() assumes valid LCP packets (with code from 1 to 7 inclusive), add ppp_check_packet() to ensure that LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.
