security advisorylow severityfreeradius2Scientific Linux: Freeradius2 Low Severity Authentication Bypass Advisory
Low: freeradius2 security and bug fix update. Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:10:25 -0600 Reply-To: Pat Riehecky Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Pat Riehecky Organization: Fermilab Subject: Security ERRATA Low: freeradius2 on SL5.x i386/x86_64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Synopsis: Low: freeradius2 security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2013-01-08 CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-4966 -- It was found that the "unix" module ignored the password expiration setting in "/etc/shadow". If FreeRADIUS was configured to use this module for user authentication, this flaw could allow users with an expired password to successfully authenticate, even though their access should have been denied. (CVE-2011-4966) This update also fixes the following bugs: * After log rotation, the freeradius logrotate script failed to reload the radiusd daemon and log messages were lost. This update has added a command to the freeradius logrotate script to reload the radiusd daemon and the radiusd daemon re-initializes and reopens its log files after log rotation as expected. * The radtest script with the "eap-md5" option failed because it passed the IP family argument when invoking the radeapclient utility and the radeapclient utility did not recognize the IP family. The radeapclient utility now recognizes the IP family argument and radtest now works with eap-md5 as expected. * Previously, freeradius was compiled without the "--with-udpfromto" option. Consequently, with a multihomed server and explicitly specifying the IP address, freeradius sent the reply with the wrong IP source address. With this update, freeradius has been built with the "--with-udpfromto" configuration option and the RADIUS reply is always sourced from the IP address the request was sent to. * Due to invalid syntax in the PostgreSQL admin schema file, the FreeRADIUS PostgreSQL tables failed to be created. With this update, the syntax has been adjusted and the tables are created as expected. * FreeRADIUS has a thread pool that dynamically grows based on load.If multiple threads using the "rlm_perl()" function are spawned in quick succession, the FreeRADIUS server sometimes terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault due to parallel calls to the "rlm_perl_clone()" function. With this update, a mutex for the threads has been added and the problem no longer occurs. * The man page for "rlm_dbm_parser" was incorrectly installed as "rlm_dbm_parse", omitting the trailing "r". The man page now correctly appearsas rlm_dbm_parser. They are also advised to check for RPM backup files ending in ".rpmnew" or ".rpmsave" under the /etc/raddb/ directory after the update because the FreeRADIUS server will attempt to load every file it finds in its configuration directory. The extra files will often cause the wrong configuration values to be applied resulting in either unpredictable behavior or the failure of the server to initialize and run. -- SL5 x86_64 freeradius2-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-debuginfo-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-krb5-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-ldap-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-mysql-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-perl-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-postgresql-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-python-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-unixODBC-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-utils-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm i386 freeradius2-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-debuginfo-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-krb5-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-ldap-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-mysql-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-perl-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-postgresql-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-python-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-unixODBC-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-utils-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .

Updated freeradius2 packages that fix one security issue and multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Low: freeradius2 security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:0134-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013:0134.html Issue date: 2013-01-08 CVE Names: CVE-2011-4966 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated freeradius2 packages that fix one security issue and multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: FreeRADIUS is an open-source Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server which allows RADIUS clients to perform authentication against the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server may optionally perform accounting of its operations using the RADIUS protocol. It was found that the "unix" module ignored the password expiration setting in "/etc/shadow". If FreeRADIUS was configured to use this module for user authentication, this flaw could allow users with an expired password to successfully authenticate, even though their access should have been denied. (CVE-2011-4966) This update also fixes the following bugs: * After log rotation, the freeradius logrotate script failed to reloadthe radiusd daemon and log messages were lost. This update has added a command to the freeradius logrotate script to reload the radiusd daemon and the radiusd daemon re-initializes and reopens its log files after log rotation as expected. (BZ#787111) * The radtest script with the "eap-md5" option failed because it passed the IP family argument when invoking the radeapclient utility and the radeapclient utility did not recognize the IP family. The radeapclient utility now recognizes the IP family argument and radtest now works with eap-md5 as expected. (BZ#846476) * Previously, freeradius was compiled without the "--with-udpfromto" option. Consequently, with a multihomed server and explicitly specifying the IP address, freeradius sent the reply with the wrong IP source address. With this update, freeradius has been built with the "--with-udpfromto" configuration option and the RADIUS reply is always sourced from the IP address the request was sent to. (BZ#846471) * Due to invalid syntax in the PostgreSQL admin schema file, the FreeRADIUS PostgreSQL tables failed to be created. With this update, the syntax has been adjusted and the tables are created as expected. (BZ#818885) * FreeRADIUS has a thread pool that dynamically grows based on load. If multiple threads using the "rlm_perl()" function are spawned in quick succession, the FreeRADIUS server sometimes terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault due to parallel calls to the "rlm_perl_clone()" function. With this update, a mutex for the threads has been added and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#846475) * The man page for "rlm_dbm_parser" was incorrectly installed as "rlm_dbm_parse", omitting the trailing "r". The man page now correctly appears as rlm_dbm_parser. (BZ#781877) All users of freeradius2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. They are also advised to check for RPM backup files ending in ".rpmnew" or ".rpmsave" under the /etc/raddb/ directory after the update becausethe FreeRADIUS server will attempt to load every file it finds in its configuration directory. The extra files will often cause the wrong configuration values to be applied resulting in either unpredictable behavior or the failure of the server to initialize and run. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 Users are also advised to check for RPM backup files ending in ".rpmnew" or ".rpmsave" under the /etc/raddb/ directory after the update because the FreeRADIUS server will attempt to load every file it finds in its configuration directory. The extra files will often cause the wrong configuration values to be applied resulting in either unpredictable behavior or the failure of the server to initialize and run. 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 781877 - rlm_dbm_parser has man pages in rlm_dbm_parse.8.gz 787111 - freeradius logrotate script does not reload running daemon, causing log files not written after logrotate 818885 - possible errors in /etc/raddb/sql/postgresql/admin.sql template 846471 - freeradius not compiled with --with-udpfromto 846474 - shadow password expiration does not work in freeradius 2.1.10 846475 - Segfault with freeradius-perl threading 846476 - radtest script is not working with eap-md5 option 879045 - CVE-2011-4966 freeradius: does not respect expired passwords when using the unix module 6.

Updated freeradius2 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: freeradius2 security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:1327-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012:1327.html Issue date: 2012-10-02 CVE Names: CVE-2012-3547 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated freeradius2 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: FreeRADIUS is a high-performance and highly configurable free Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server, designed to allow centralized authentication and authorization for a network. A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the way radiusd handled the expiration date field in X.509 client certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to crash radiusd if it were configured to use the certificate or TLS tunnelled authentication methods (such as EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP). (CVE-2012-3547) Red Hat would like to thank Timo Warns of PRESENSE Technologies GmbH for reporting this issue. Users of FreeRADIUS are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch tocorrect this issue. After installing the update, radiusd will be restarted automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 852752 - CVE-2012-3547 freeradius: stack-based buffer overflow via long expiration date fields in client X509 certificates 6.
