Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification
FEDORALEGACY-2004-2187
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2187
2004-12-18
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : freeradius
FC1 Version : 1.0.1-0.FC1.5.legacy
Summary     : High-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS
               server.
Description :
The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly
configurable GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some
respects to Livingston's 2.0 server.  While FreeRADIUS started as a
variant of the Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common
any more. It now has many more features than Cistron or Livingston,
and is much more configurable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Updated freeradius packages that fix a number of denial of service
vulnerabilities as well as minor bugs are now available.

FreeRADIUS is a high-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS
server designed to allow centralized authentication and authorization
for a network.

A number of flaws were found in FreeRADIUS versions prior to 1.0.1. An
attacker who is able to send packets to the server could construct
carefully constructed packets in such a way as to cause the server to
consume memory or crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0938,
CAN-2004-0960, and CAN-2004-0961 to these issues.

Please note that the pam config file included in these packages was
renamed to /etc/pam.d/radiusd.

Users of FreeRADIUS should update to these erratum packages that contain
FreeRADIUS 1.0.1, which is not vulnerable to these issues and also
corrects a number of bugs.
