Synopsis
========
The EAP-MSCHAPv2 module of FreeRADIUS is affected by a validation issue
which causes some authentication checks to be bypassed.
Background
==========
FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server
implementation.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-dialup/freeradius < 1.1.1 >= 1.1.1
< 1.0.0
Description
===========
FreeRADIUS suffers from insufficient input validation in the
EAP-MSCHAPv2 state machine.
Impact
======
An attacker could cause the server to bypass authentication checks by
manipulating the EAP-MSCHAPv2 client state machine.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/freeradius-1.1.1"
