** Description changed: + [Impact] + Kernel 4.15 breaks xl2tpd, please see following upstream issue for more details : - https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/issues/147 - + https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/issues/147 The following commit/patch fixes the issue: - https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/commit/9c2cd4933478a83075df5b10f24af7589e90abc3.patch + https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/commit/9c2cd4933478a83075df5b10f24af7589e90abc3.patch As Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) is no longer accepting Debian packages, I'm guessing then that the patch would need to be added and applied to the existing xl2tpd-1.3.10-1 package. The linux-image kernel package on Ubuntu 18.04 is currently linux- image-4.15.0-13 + + + [Test Case] + + * apt install network-manager-l2tp-gnome + * Add new VPN connection via network manager + * establish vpn connection + + + [Regression Potential] + + * For Bionic, there is none. The xl2tpd daemon does not work without the patch on the standard bionic kernel. + * For Xenial w/ the 4.15 HWE kernel there is no risk. + * For Xenial w/ the stock 4.4 kernel there is minimal risk as the code is pulling values that are not valid on the 4.4 kernel by defafult.
