- freeradius - a high-performance and highly configurable RADIUS server
Details
Timo Warns discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly handled certain long
timestamps in client certificates. A remote attacker could exploit this
flaw and cause the FreeRADIUS server to crash, resulting in a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the
vulnerability to a denial of service.
