Description:
A vulnerability was reported in FreeRADIUS. A remote user can cause the target RADIUS service to crash.
The VulnDisco RADIUS test suite includes tests for a previously unreported denial of service vulnerability in FreeRADIUS 1.0.0.
The vendor reported that Ascend-Send-Secret, like Tunnel-Password, requires an "original" packet to decode the attribute [CVE: ]. The software checks for Tunnel-Password, but not Ascend-Send-Secret.
The flaw resides in 'radius.c' and 'eap_tls.c'.
The vendor also reported that a remote user can supply malformed USR vendor-specific attributes to invoke a memcpy() operation with a '-1' argument, causing the RADIUS service to crash [CVE: CAN-2004-0960].
The vendor also reported that a remote user can send a series of Access-Request packets with Ascend-Send-Secret, Ascend-Recv-Secret, or Tunnel-Password attributes to cause the service to consume all available memory [CVE: CAN-2004-0961].
|
Impact:
A remote user can cause the RADIUS service to crash.

The vendor has released a fixed version (1.0.1), available at:
