Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in FreeRADIUS can lead to arbitrary code execution or
Denial of Service by authenticated users.

Background
==========

FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server.

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-

Description
===========

Large passwords can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in
FreeRADIUS’s rlm_pap module when authenticating against an LDAP server.

Impact
======

An authenticated user could set a specially crafted long password,
possibly leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service
condition.

Workaround
