This would allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service by application crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code. All those issues are covered by this single DSA, but it's worth noting that not all issues affect all releases: - CVE-2017-10978 and CVE-2017-10983 affect both jessie and stretch - CVE-2017-10979, CVE-2017-10980, CVE-2017-10981 and CVE-2017-10982 affect only jessie - CVE-2017-10984, CVE-2017-10985, CVE-2017-10986 and CVE-2017-10987 affect only stretch. For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.5+dfsg-0.2+deb8u1. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.12+dfsg-5+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your freeradius packages.
