FreeRADIUS: Arbitrary code execution

FreeRADIUS: Arbitrary code execution A vulnerability in FreeRADIUS can lead to arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service by authenticated users. freeradius June 15, 2014 June 15, 2014: 1 501754 remote 2.2.5 2.2.5

FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server.

Large passwords can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in FreeRADIUS’s rlm_pap module when authenticating against an LDAP server.

An authenticated user could set a specially crafted long password, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/freeradius-2.2.5"
