Goldberg, Miro Haller, Nadia Heninger, Mike Milano, Dan Shumow, Marc
Stevens, and Adam Suhl discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly authenticated
certain responses. An attacker able to intercept communications between a
RADIUS client and server could possibly use this issue to forge responses,
bypass authentication, and access network devices and services.
This update introduces new configuration options called “limit_proxy_state”
and “require_message_authenticator” that default to “auto” but should be
set to “yes” once all RADIUS devices have been upgraded on a network.
