Detail
| radiusd-cistron contains a bug allowing a buffer overflow when a long NAS-Port attribute is received. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the with the privileges of the RADIUS daemon (usually root). For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.6-1woody1. For the old stable distribution (potato), this problem will be fixed in a later advisory. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your radiusd-cistron package. |

| 2219 | Cistron RADIUS radiusd-cistron Overflow -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : radiusd-cistron SUMMARY : Buffer overflow vulnerability DATE : 2003-06-27 12:07:00 ID : CLA-2003:664 RELEVANT RELEASES : 7.0, 8, 9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Cistron RADIUS is an authentication and accounting system for terminal servers that speak the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol. David Luyer reported[1] a buffer overflow vulnerability in radiusd-cistron versions <= 1.6.6 that could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) and possibly execute arbitrary code in the server context. The vulnerability resides in the handling of the NAS-Port attribute, which can be interpreted as a negative number, causing a buffer overflow. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CAN-2003-0450 to this issue[2]. This update fixes the problem using a patched version of radiusd-cistron 1.6.6. SOLUTION All radius-cistron users should upgrade. This update will automatically restart the service if it is already running.
