Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated freeradius packages fix security flaws
Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:609-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-609.html
Issue date: 2004-11-12
Updated on: 2004-11-12
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0938 CAN-2004-0960 CAN-2004-0961
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated freeradius packages that fix a number of denial of service vulnerabilities as well as minor bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
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.
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.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date
For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info):
127168 - rebuilding freeradius picks up system libeap rather than package libeap
127162 - zlib-devel is missing from BuildRequires in spec file
130606 - Missing buildrequires in freediag
130613 - radiusd.conf specifies other pam-auth than file installed in /etc/pam.d
135825 - CAN-2004-0938 Freeradius < 1.0.1 DoS and remote crash (CAN-2004-0960, CAN-2004-0961)
