GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200307-03
- - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : cistonradius
SUMMARY : buffer overflow
DATE : 2003-07-11 13:57 UTC
EXPLOIT : remote
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <cistronradius-1.6.6-r1
FIXED VERSION : >=cistronradius-1.6.6-r1
CVE : CAN-2003-0450

- - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

quote from CVE:
"Cistron RADIUS daemon (radiusd-cistron) 1.6.6 and earlier allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
code via a large value in an NAS-Port attribute, which is interpreted
as a negative number and causes a buffer overflow."

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-dialup/cistronradius upgrade to cistronradius-1.6.6-r1 as follows

emerge sync
emerge cistronradius
emerge clean
