Detail

Problem Description:

Updated freeradius packages that fix a buffer overflow and possible SQL injection attacks in the sql module are now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

FreeRADIUS is a high-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server designed to allow centralized authentication and authorization for a network.

A buffer overflow bug was found in the way FreeRADIUS escapes data in an SQL query. An attacker may be able to crash FreeRADIUS if they cause FreeRADIUS to escape a string containing three or less characters. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1454 to this issue.

Additionally a bug was found in the way FreeRADIUS escapes SQL data. It is possible that an authenticated user could execute arbitrary SQL queries by sending a specially crafted request to FreeRADIUS. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1455 to this issue.

Users of FreeRADIUS should update to these erratum packages, which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:
