Serious security flaw in most Linux systems and TP-Link routers

adslzone – Every few weeks we have news of a serious vulnerability discovered that puts us at risk as users of certain products or services. In this case, a major security flaw has been discovered in a Point-to-Point Protocol Daemon (pppd) software . The problem with this vulnerability is that it has been present for 17 years and no one had located it until now, allowing arbitrary code to be executed on the affected devices or systems (or malware ) to take control of them. Most Linux systems, some routers and TP-Link or OpenWRT network devices are affected.
