CVE-2020-8597# CVE-2020-8597
eap.c in pppd in ppp 2.4.2 through 2.4.8 has an rhostname buffer overflow in the eap_request and eap_response functions.
If you manage to get "EAP: unauthenticated peer name" long enough, seems like my client limits it to 255, you can do Buffer Overflow.
You still have to beat the Stack Canaries, so crash is the most possible.
