Synopsis
========
A memory leak has been discovered in FreeRADIUS, possibly allowing for
a Denial of Service.
Background
==========
FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server
implementation.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-dialup/freeradius < 1.1.6 >= 1.1.6
Description
===========
The Coverity Scan project has discovered a memory leak within the
handling of certain malformed Diameter format values inside an EAP-TTLS
tunnel.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could send a large amount of specially crafted
packets to a FreeRADIUS server using EAP-TTLS authentication and
exhaust all memory, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/freeradius-1.1.6"
