CVE-2026-84015: Remote Access Point-to-Point Protocol heap overflow in EAP-TLS

CVE-2026-84015 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-10-13

A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the EAP-TLS authentication component of Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which is used for remote access and dial-up connections. An attacker on the network can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on affected systems without authentication, potentially gaining complete control of the remote access infrastructure.

Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the EAP-TLS authentication handler within PPP remote access implementations, allowing remote code execution with network-level access. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it directly exploitable by any network-adjacent attacker. Successful exploitation grants arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
