Background ========== FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server implementation. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-dialup/freeradius < 1.0.1 >= 1.0.1 Description =========== There are undisclosed defects in the way FreeRADIUS handles incorrect received packets. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send specially-crafted packets to the FreeRADIUS server to deny service to other users by crashing the server. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-dialup/freeradius-1.0.1" # emerge ">=net-dialup/freeradius-1.0.1" References ========== [ 1 ] FreeRADIUS Vulnerability Notifications http://www.freeradius.org/security.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200409-29.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
