    Package : freeradius
    Vulnerability : stack-based buffer overflows
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : 687175
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-3547

    Timo Warns discovered that the EAP-TLS handling of freeradius, a high-performance and highly configurable RADIUS server, is not properly performing length checks on user-supplied input before copying to a local
    stack buffer. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this
    flaw to crash the daemon or execute arbitrary code via crafted
    certificates.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.1.10+dfsg-2+squeeze1.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.1.12+dfsg-1.1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your freeradius packages.
