An FR-GV-301 issue in FreeRADIUS 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "Write overflow in data2vp_wimax()" - this allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

This update for freeradius-server fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2017-10978 / FR-GV-201: Read / write overflow in     make_secret()

According to the versions of the freeradius package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow     was found in the libnl library. An attacker could use     this flaw to cause an application compiled with libnl     to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code in the     context of the user running such an application.
    (CVE-2017-0553)

  - An out-of-bounds read and write flaw was found in the     way FreeRADIUS server handled RADIUS packets. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the FreeRADIUS     server by sending a specially crafted RADIUS packet.
    (CVE-2017-10978)

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way     FreeRADIUS server handled certain attributes in request     packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause     the FreeRADIUS server to enter an infinite loop,     consume increasing amounts of memory resources, and     ultimately crash by sending a specially crafted request     packet. (CVE-2017-10985)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds read flaws were found in the way     FreeRADIUS server handled decoding of DHCP packets. A     remote attacker could use these flaws to crash the     FreeRADIUS server by sending a specially crafted DHCP     request. (CVE-2017-10986, CVE-2017-10987)

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way     FreeRADIUS server handled decoding of DHCP packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the     FreeRADIUS server by sending a specially crafted DHCP     request. (CVE-2017-10983)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds read flaws were found in the way     FreeRADIUS server handled decoding of DHCP packets. A     remote attacker could use these flaws to crash the     FreeRADIUS server by sending a specially crafted DHCP     request. (CVE-2017-10986, CVE-2017-10987)

  - An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way     FreeRADIUS server handled certain attributes in request     packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash     the FreeRADIUS server or to execute arbitrary code in     the context of the FreeRADIUS server process by sending     a specially crafted request packet.

Guido Vranken discovered that FreeRADIUS, an open source implementation of RADIUS, the IETF protocol for AAA (Authorisation, Authentication, and Accounting), did not properly handle memory when processing packets. This would allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service by application crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code.

All those issues are covered by this single DSA, but it's worth noting that not all issues affect all releases :

  - CVE-2017-10978 and CVE-2017-10983 affect both jessie and     stretch;
  - CVE-2017-10979, CVE-2017-10980, CVE-2017-10981 and     CVE-2017-10982 affect only jessie;

  - CVE-2017-10984, CVE-2017-10985, CVE-2017-10986 and     CVE-2017-10987 affect only stretch.
