Ubuntu Security Notice 459-2 - A flaw was discovered in the PPTP tunnel server. Remote attackers could send a specially crafted packet and disrupt established PPTP tunnels, leading to a denial of service. USN-459-1 fixed vulnerabilities in pptpd. However, a portion of the fix caused a regression in session establishment under Dapper for certain PPTP clients. This update fixes the problem.
