radiusd-cistron: possible remote system compromise

Package(s):radiusd-cistron CVE #(s):CAN-2003-0450
Created:June 13, 2003 Updated:July 11, 2003
Description: The package radiusd-cistron is an implementation of the RADIUS protocol. Unfortunately the RADIUS server handles large NAS numbers incorrectly. This leads to overwriting internal memory of the server process and may be abused to gain remote access to the system the RADIUS server is running on.
