The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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: the EAP-PWD module performs insufficient validation on packets received from an EAP peer     (CVE-2015-8764)

  - 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)

  - The EAP-PWD module in FreeRADIUS 3.0 through 3.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and server crash) via a zero-length EAP-PWD packet. (CVE-2015-8762)

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

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

  - Attributes of data type 'signed' would sometimes be     created from uninitialized memory, instead of from the     received packet. There is only one 'signed' attribute,     which is in the WiMAX dictionaries, and it is used only     in certain limited situations.(CVE-2017-10988)

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

This update for freeradius-server fixes the following issues :

  - update to 3.0.15 (bsc#1049086)

  - Bind the lifetime of program name and python path to the     module

  - CVE-2017-10978: FR-GV-201: Check input / output length     in make_secret() (bsc#1049086)

  - CVE-2017-10983: FR-GV-206: Fix read overflow when     decoding DHCP option 63 (bsc#1049086)

  - CVE-2017-10984: FR-GV-301: Fix write overflow in     data2vp_wimax() (bsc#1049086) 

  - CVE-2017-10985: FR-GV-302: Fix infinite loop and memory     exhaustion with 'concat' attributes (bsc#1049086)

  - CVE-2017-10986: FR-GV-303: Fix infinite read in     dhcp_attr2vp() (bsc#1049086)

  - CVE-2017-10987: FR-GV-304: Fix buffer over-read in     fr_dhcp_decode_suboptions() (bsc#1049086)

  - CVE-2017-10988: FR-GV-305: Decode 'signed' attributes     correctly. (bsc#1049086) 

  - FR-AD-001: use strncmp() instead of memcmp() for bounded     data

  - Print messages when we see deprecated configuration     items

  - Show reasons why we couldn't parse a certificate expiry     time

  - Be more accepting about truncated ASN1 times.

  - Fix OpenSSL API issue which could leak small amounts of     memory.

  - For Access-Reject, call rad_authlog() after running the     post-auth section, just like for Access-Accept.

  - Don't crash when reading corrupted data from session     resumption cache.

  - Parse port in dhcpclient.

  - Don't leak memory for OpenSSL.

  - Portability fixes taken from OpenBSD port collection.

  - run rad_authlog after post-auth for Access-Reject.

  - Don't process VMPS packets twice.

  - Fix attribute truncation in rlm_perl

  - Fix bug when processing huntgroups.

  - FR-AD-002 - Bind the lifetime of program name and python     path to the module

  - FR-AD-003 - Pass correct statement length into     sqlite3_prepare[_v2]
