Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
A vulnerability in FreeRADIUS might allow remote attackers to bypass |
19 |
authentication. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |
================= |
28 |
|
29 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
30 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
1 net-dialup/freeradius < 3.0.14 >= 3.0.14 |
33 |
|
34 |
Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
It was discovered that the implementation of TTLS and PEAP in |
38 |
FreeRADIUS skips inner authentication when it handles a resumed TLS |
39 |
connection. The affected versions of FreeRADIUS fails to reliably |
40 |
prevent the resumption of unauthenticated sessions unless the TLS |
41 |
session cache is disabled completely. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
An unauthenticated remote user can bypass authentication by starting a |
47 |
session, and then resuming an unauthenticated TLS session before inner |
48 |
authentication has been completed successfully. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
Set "enabled = no" in the cache subsection of eap module settings to |
54 |
disable TLS session caching. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/freeradius-3.0.14" |
