Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : freeradius (MDKSA-2007:085)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 25063

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Memory leak in freeRADIUS 1.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of EAP-TTLS tunnel connections using malformed Diameter format attributes, which causes the authentication request to be rejected but does not reclaim VALUE_PAIR data structures.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
