Stack-based buffer overflow in SMBLogonServer of the rlmsmb experimental module for FreeRADIUS 0.9.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long User-Password attribute.
raddecode in FreeRADIUS 0.9.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a short RADIUS string attribute with a tag, which causes memcpy to be called with a -1 length argument, as demonstrated using the Tunnel-Password attribute.
A fundamental design flaw within the RADIUS protocol has been proven to be exploitable, compromising the integrity in the RADIUS Access-Request process. The attack allows a malicious user to modify packets in a way that would be indistinguishable to a RADIUS client or server. To be successful, the attacker must have the ability to inject themselves between the client and server.
DISPUTED Buffer overflow in the SMBConnectServer function in FreeRadius 1.1.3 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code related to the server desthost field of an SMBHandleType instance. NOTE: the impact of this issue has been disputed by a reliable third party and the vendor, who states that exploitation is limited "only to local administrators who have write access to the server configuration files." CVE concurs with the dispute.
In freeradius, the EAP-PWD function computepasswordelement() leaks information about the password which allows an attacker to substantially reduce the size of an offline dictionary attack.
In freeradius, when an EAP-SIM supplicant sends an unknown SIM option, the server will try to look that option up in the internal dictionaries. This lookup will fail, but the SIM code will not check for that failure. Instead, it will dereference a NULL pointer, and cause the server to crash.
A flaw was found in freeradius. A malicious RADIUS client or home server can send a malformed abinary attribute which can cause the server to crash.
modules/rlmunix/rlmunix.c in FreeRADIUS before 2.2.0, when unix mode is enabled for user authentication, does not properly check the password expiration in /etc/shadow, which allows remote authenticated users to authenticate using an expired password.
FreeRADIUS RADIUS server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a flood of Access-Request packets.
A vulnerability was found in FreeRadius. An invalid curve attack allows an attacker to authenticate as any user (without knowing the password). The problem is that on the reception of an EAP-PWD Commit frame, FreeRADIUS doesn't verify whether the received elliptic curve point is valid.
A vulnerability was found in FreeRadius. An attacker can reflect the received scalar and element from the server in it's own commit message, and subsequently reflect the confirm value as well. This causes the adversary to successfully authenticate as the victim. Fortunately, the adversary will not posses the negotiated session key, meaning the adversary cannot actually perform any actions as this user.
A vulnerability was found in pamradius : the password length check was done incorrectly in the addpassword() function, resulting in a stack based buffer overflow.
This could be used to crash (DoS) an application using the PAM stack for authentication.
Buffer overflow in digest calculation function of multiple RADIUS implementations allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via shared secret data.
Multiple RADIUS implementations do not properly validate the Vendor-Length of the Vendor-Specific attribute, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a Vendor-Length that is less than 2.
Memory leak in FreeRADIUS before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of Access-Request packets with (1) Ascend-Send-Secret, (2) Ascend-Recv-Secret, or (3) Tunnel-Password attributes.
FreeRADIUS before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump) via malformed USR vendor-specific attributes (VSA) that cause a memcpy operation with a -1 argument.
FreeRADIUS before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) by sending an Ascend-Send-Secret attribute without the required leading packet.
Off-by-one error in the sqlerror function in sqlunixodbc.c in FreeRADIUS 1.0.2.5-5, and possibly other versions including 1.0.4, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by causing the external database query to fail. NOTE: this single issue is part of a larger-scale disclosure, originally by SUSE, which reported multiple issues that were disputed by FreeRADIUS. Disputed issues included file descriptor leaks, memory disclosure, LDAP injection, and other issues. Without additional information, the most recent FreeRADIUS report is being regarded as the authoritative source for this CVE identifier.
Multiple buffer overflows in FreeRADIUS 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 allow remote attackers to cause denial of service (crash) via (1) the rlmsqlcounter module or (2) unknown vectors "while expanding %t".
SQL injection vulnerability in the rlmsqlcounter module in FreeRADIUS 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unknown attack vectors.
Buffer overflow in the sqlescapefunc function in the SQL module for FreeRADIUS 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).
SQL injection vulnerability in the radiusxlat function in the SQL module for FreeRADIUS 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) groupmembershipquery, (2) simulcountquery, or (3) simulverifyquery configuration entries.
Unspecified vulnerability in FreeRADIUS 1.0.0 up to 1.1.0 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication or cause a denial of service (server crash) via "Insufficient input validation" in the EAP-MSCHAPv2 state machine module.
Memory leak in freeRADIUS 1.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of EAP-TTLS tunnel connections using malformed Diameter format attributes, which causes the authentication request to be rejected but does not reclaim VALUEPAIR data structures.
freeradius-dialupadmin in freeradius 2.0.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files in (1) backupradacct, (2) cleanradacct, (3) monthlytotstats, (4) totstats, and (5) truncateradacct.
The raddecode function in FreeRADIUS before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (radiusd crash) via zero-length Tunnel-Password attributes, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 7.6 through 8.11. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2003-0967.
It was reported [1],[2] that an error when processing DHCP requests with the 'Relay Agent Information' option (82) in src/lib/dhcp.c could be exploited to cause an infinite loop, in the process denying further requests via a packet with multiple sub-options.
According to the upstream report, this flaw seems to only affect 2.1.9 and was fixed [3] in 2.1.10.

The offending file (dhcp.c) is not present in the version of freeradius as provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (1.1.3).
It was reported [1],[2] that an error when processing requests queued for more than 30 seconds in src/main/event.c could be exploited to cause the process to crash by sending a large number of requests for an extended period of time.
This flaw seems to only affect 2.1.x and was fixed [3] in 2.1.10.

DFN-CERT reported [1] a vulnerability in the OCSP feature in FreeRADIUS 2.1.11 where it does not verify the status of a certificate (e.g. if the certificate was revoked).
No further details, or a patch, were provided. According to the changelog on the FreeRADIUS site [2], OCSP support was added in version 2.1.11:
OCSP support from Alex Bergmann. See raddb/eap.conf, "ocsp" section.
Therefore earlier versions of FreeRADIUS are not affected by this flaw.

Statement:
Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of freeradius as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, or 6.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the cbtlsverify function in FreeRADIUS 2.1.10 through 2.1.12, when using TLS-based EAP methods, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long "not after" timestamp in a client certificate.
