CentOS - Dec 2007 - module mppe with pptpd causes kernel crash

Hi,

configuration of PPTP for windows clients , using MPPE causes kernel crash.
It is a known bug which is in bugzilla on RedHat

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248716

I was thinking that CentOS 5.1 has allready a kernel patched , but as it
seems NOT. Or am i wrong?

Thanks

David Hlacik

If upstream has not patched it, CentOS would not have either.  It
appears from the Red Hat Bugzilla entry that this is a likely
candidate for inclusion in 5.2 (assuming the patch is accepted
upstream - kernel.org that is for Red Hat).  The bug is currently in
POST state, which means that the patch has been submitted upstream but
not yet included.

In the meantime, you're free to use the patch provided in the Bugzilla.
