Gentoo Linux Security Advisory

Title: FreeRADIUS: Denial of Service (GLSA 200704-14)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: April 17, 2007
Bug(s): #174292
ID: 200704-14

Synopsis

A memory leak has been discovered in FreeRADIUS, possibly allowing for a Denial of Service.

Background

FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server implementation.

Affected Packages

Package: net-dialup/freeradius
Vulnerable: < 1.1.6
Unaffected: >= 1.1.6
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description

The Coverity Scan project has discovered a memory leak within the handling of certain malformed Diameter format values inside an EAP-TTLS tunnel.

Impact

A remote attacker could send a large amount of specially crafted packets to a FreeRADIUS server using EAP-TTLS authentication and exhaust all memory, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/freeradius-1.1.6"


References
