USN-7055-1: FreeRADIUS vulnerability

Read Time:25 Second

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.

cause a denial of service or potentially leak sensitive information.
These vulnerabilities included heap and stack-based buffer overflows,
memory leaks, and improper handling of uninitialized values.
