Detail
| Problem Description: Updated freeradius packages that fix a number of denial of service vulnerabilities as well as minor bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. 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 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 number of flaws were found in FreeRADIUS versions prior to 1.0.1. An attacker who is able to send packets to the server could construct carefully constructed packets in such a way as to cause the server to consume memory or crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0938, CAN-2004-0960, and CAN-2004-0961 to these issues. Users of FreeRADIUS should update to these erratum packages that contain FreeRADIUS 1.0.1, which is not vulnerable to these issues and also corrects a number of bugs. 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: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info): 127168 - rebuilding freeradius picks up system libeap rather than package libeap 127162 - zlib-devel is missing from BuildRequires in spec file 130606 - Missing buildrequires in freediag 130613 - radiusd.conf specifies other pam-auth than file installed in /etc/pam.d 135825 - CAN-2004-0938 Freeradius < 1.0.1 DoS and remote crash (CAN-2004-0960, CAN-2004-0961) |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 11807 | FreeRADIUS Malformed USR VSA DoS FreeRadius contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when the server recieves a packet with a malformed USR VSA which may cause it to call memcpy with a length value of -1. memcpy interprets this as 0xffffffff which causes it to enter an infinite loop, and will result in loss of availability for the service. |
| 11806 | FreeRADIUS Access-Request Packet Memory Leak DoS |
| 10178 | FreeRADIUS Ascend-Send-Secret Processing Remote DoS FreeRADIUS contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when an Ascend-Send-Secret packet without an original packet occurs, and will result in loss of availability for the service. |
