Public bug reported:

[Impact]
According to RFC2759, the format of PPP success packets is :

"S=<auth_string> M=<message>"

Recently Windows Server 2019 has started producing non-complaint PPP
success packets which have a space missing before the M= characters.

PPP based (e.g. PPTP, L2TP, etc) VPN clients connecting to an affected
Windows Server 2019 VPN server will get the following error message
during MS-CHAPv2 authentication :

   MS-CHAPv2 Success packet is badly formed


If the following upstream ppp patch is applied, it will handle the 
non-compliant, missing-space before M= success packets :

** Affects: ppp (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
