Version : 1.3.16-4.4+deb8u1

A vulnerability was found in pam_radius: the password length check was
done incorrectly in the add_password() function in pam_radius_auth.c,
resulting in a stack based buffer overflow.

This could be used to crash (DoS) an application using the PAM stack
for authentication.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpam-radius-auth packages.
