This bug was fixed in the package ppp - 2.4.9-1+1ubuntu1

---------------
ppp (2.4.9-1+1ubuntu1) impish; urgency=low

  [ Simon Chopin ]
  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1912168). Remaining changes:
    - debian/extra/ip-up.d/0000usepeerdns: Added NetworkManager check, which
      lets the script exit when NetworkManager is in use
  * Dropped changes as obsolete
    - debian/patches/CVE-2020-8597.patch: fix bounds check in EAP code in
      pppd/eap.c.

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * Also drop this change:
    - Stop producing udebs on i386 where we no longer have d-i or a kernel.
       + Since hirsute these aren't built anyway, so we no longer need to
         exclude them on specific arches.

Title:
  Merge ppp 2.4.9

Status in ppp package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
  due to this ML on devel-discuss [1] I realized that there is a new version that should be merged for Ubuntu 21.04 - and probably later [2] be considered/discussed for an SRU
  That new version is in Debian now [3] and I think it would be great to get that merged/synced.

  I guess ppp might be out-of-focus today, therefore per [4] I'm also
  pinging the Desktop team hoping this will help to get a look at it.
