NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2004-609.NASL description 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. 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 CVE-2004-0938, CVE-2004-0960, and CVE-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. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15701 published 2004-11-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15701 title RHEL 3 : freeradius (RHSA-2004:609) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:609.
