Dear Chris Parker,

There is more info on this issue on
http://www.security.nnov.ru/search/news.asp?binid=1563

It  should  also  be pointed that some attacks require ability to modify
traffic.  It's  possible  if  one of routers compromised directly or via
spoofed  arp  entry.  There  is  no attack to succeed immdeiatly and all
attack  require  long  time  to  succeed (if you change shared secret on
regular basis it will be hard to attack you). There are few points where
traffic  modification  allow  privelege  escalation (for example NAS may
send  request  for shell access, this request will be changed by M-i-t-M
to  PPP access request. RADIUS will authenticate PPP access and attacker
will get shell access to device instead of PPP. There is also a weakness
in a way MS-CHAP implemented in RADIUS.

In fact, most of these attack are theoretical and it's almost impossible
to use in practice.
