An FR-GV-303 issue in FreeRADIUS 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "DHCP - Infinite read in dhcp_attr2vp()" and a denial of service.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - freeradius: Out-of-bounds write in rad_coalesce() (CVE-2017-10979)

  - modules/rlm_unix/rlm_unix.c in FreeRADIUS before 2.2.0, when unix mode is enabled for user authentication,     does not properly check the password expiration in /etc/shadow, which allows remote authenticated users to     authenticate using an expired password. (CVE-2011-4966)

  - FreeRADIUS 2.2.x before 2.2.8 and 3.0.x before 3.0.9 does not properly check revocation of intermediate CA     certificates. (CVE-2015-4680)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

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.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-2389 advisory.
