<p>
|
|
A format string vulnerability was found in the sqllog function from the
|
|
SQL accounting code for radiusd. That function is only used if one or
|
|
more of the "postgresql", "mysql" or "odbc" USE flags are enabled,
|
|
which is not the default, except for the "server" 2006.1 and 2007.0
|
|
profiles which enable the "mysql" USE flag.
|
|

|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An unauthenticated remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with
|
|
the privileges of the user running radiusd, which may be the root user.
|
|
It is important to note that there is no default GNU Radius user for
|
|
Gentoo systems because no init script is provided with the package.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All GNU Radius users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/gnuradius-1.4"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
