Category:   Application (Generic)  >   RADIUS (Cistron) Vendors:   Cistron
(Debian Issues Fix) Cistron RADIUS Server Single Byte Overflow Lets Remote Authenticated Users Execute Arbitrary Code
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1006985
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1006985
CVE Reference:   GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Jun 14 2003
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, Root access via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 1.6.6
Description:   A buffer overflow vulnerability was reported in the Cistron RADIUS server. A remote authenticated user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target system with the privileges of the RADIUS server (typically root on many systems).

David Luyer reported a vulnerability in Cistron RADIUS. A remote user can supply a NAS-port higher than 2^31 or a long NAS-hostname to trigger the overflow. The flaw reportedly resides in the 'acct.c' file. A sprintf() call in the make_wtmp() function may write the specified port number as a negative number, thereby overwriting a buffer by one byte.

A remote authenticated user (i.e., a remote user that can obtain or guess a valid RADIUS key) may be able to supply a specially crafted sequence of RADIUS account records to trigger the overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code. The code will run with the privileges of the RADIUS daemon.

The original bug report is available at:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=196063

Impact:   A remote authenticated user may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the RADIUS process (which is typically root privileges).
Solution:   Debian has released a fix in version 1.6.6-1woody1 for the stable distribution (woody).

A fix for the old stable distribution (potato) and for the unstable distribution (sid) will be released later.

Package        : radiusd-cistron
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no

radiusd-cistron contains a bug allowing a buffer overflow when a long
NAS-Port attribute is received.  This could allow a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code on the with the privileges of the RADIUS daemon
(usually root).

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.6-1woody1.

For the old stable distribution (potato), this problem will be fixed
in a later advisory.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your radiusd-cistron package.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
