+ppp: Buffer overflow in radius plugin
+
+From: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=782450
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+
+On systems with more than 65535 processes running, pppd aborts when
+sending a "start" accounting message to the RADIUS server because of a
+buffer overflow in rc_mksid.
+
+The process id is used in rc_mksid to generate a pseudo-unique string,
+assuming that the hex representation of the pid will be at most 4
+characters (FFFF). __sprintf_chk(), used when compiling with
+optimization levels greater than 0 and FORTIFY_SOURCE, detects the
+buffer overflow and makes pppd crash.
+
+The following patch fixes the problem.
