Synopsis: Moderate: freeradius2 security update Issue Date: 2012-10-02 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-3547 -- 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) Users of FreeRADIUS are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, radiusd will be restarted automatically. -- SL5 x86_64 freeradius2-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-krb5-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-ldap-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-mysql-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-perl-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-postgresql-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-python-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-unixODBC-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-utils-2.1.12-4.el5_8.x86_64.rpm i386 freeradius2-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-krb5-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-ldap-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-mysql-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-perl-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-postgresql-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-python-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-unixODBC-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm freeradius2-utils-2.1.12-4.el5_8.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
