       iDEFENSE has identified a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in
       SCO Unixware ppp prompt. Local exploitation of a buffer
       overflow vulnerability in the ppp binary, allows attackers
       to gain root privileges.
       This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with root
       privileges, as ppp is setuid root by default.
