freeradius vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 13.10
– Ubuntu 12.10
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in FreeRADIUS.
Software Description:
– freeradius: high-performance and highly configurable RADIUS server
Details:
It was discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly handled unix authentication.
A remote user could successfully authenticate with an expired password.
(CVE-2011-4966)
Pierre Carrier discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly handled rlm_pap
hash processing. An authenticated user could use this issue to cause
FreeRADIUS 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. (CVE-2014-2015)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 13.10:
freeradius 2.1.12+dfsg-1.2ubuntu5.1
