Hm... Odd, I thought it uses UDP because there I saw it using udp_disconnect, udp_ioctl, and friends...

Sure!

The code is pretty simple:

#include <linux/l2tp.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

void main(void)
{
        struct sockaddr addr = { .sa_family = AF_UNSPEC };
        connect(socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_L2TP), &addr, sizeof(addr));
}


And the BUG it produces:
