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.
An FR-GV-202 issue in FreeRADIUS 2.x before 2.2.10 allows "Write overflow in radcoalesce()" - this allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
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 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.
An FR-GV-301 issue in FreeRADIUS 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "Write overflow in data2vpwimax()" - this allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
The TLS session cache in FreeRADIUS 2.1.1 through 2.1.7, 3.0.x before 3.0.14, 3.1.x before 2017-02-04, and 4.0.x before 2017-02-04 fails to reliably prevent resumption of an unauthenticated session, which allows remote attackers (such as malicious 802.1X supplicants) to bypass authentication via PEAP or TTLS.
The EAP-PWD module in FreeRADIUS 3.0 through 3.0.8 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted (1) commit or (2) confirm message, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
Off-by-one error in the EAP-PWD module in FreeRADIUS 3.0 through 3.0.8, which triggers a buffer overflow.
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".
An FR-GV-302 issue in FreeRADIUS 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "Infinite loop and memory exhaustion with 'concat' attributes" and a denial of service.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pierre Carrier reported a stack-based buffer overflow flaw in the FreeRADIUS rlmpap module. An authenticated user could trigger this issue by creating a large password, causing FreeRADIUS to crash. The stack protector and SSP variable re-ordering protections should help prevent this issue from being used to execute arbitrary code.

An FR-GV-303 issue in FreeRADIUS 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "DHCP - Infinite read in dhcpattr2vp()" and a denial of service.
An FR-GV-206 issue in FreeRADIUS 2.x before 2.2.10 and 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "DHCP - Read overflow when decoding option 63" and a denial of service.
An FR-GV-201 issue in FreeRADIUS 2.x before 2.2.10 and 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "Read / write overflow in makesecret()" and a denial of service.
An FR-GV-203 issue in FreeRADIUS 2.x before 2.2.10 allows "DHCP - Memory leak in decodetlv()" and a denial of service.
An FR-GV-304 issue in FreeRADIUS 3.x before 3.0.15 allows "DHCP - Buffer over-read in frdhcpdecodesuboptions()" and a denial of service.
An FR-GV-204 issue in FreeRADIUS 2.x before 2.2.10 allows "DHCP - Memory leak in frdhcpdecode()" and a denial of service.
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.
FreeRADIUS 2.2.x before 2.2.8 and 3.0.x before 3.0.9 does not properly check revocation of intermediate CA certificates.
An FR-GV-205 issue in FreeRADIUS 2.x before 2.2.10 allows "DHCP - Buffer over-read in frdhcpdecodeoptions()" and a denial of service.
In FreeRADIUS 3.0.x before 3.0.20, the EAP-pwd module used a global OpenSSL BNCTX instance to handle all handshakes. This mean multiple threads use the same BNCTX instance concurrently, resulting in crashes when concurrent EAP-pwd handshakes are initiated. This can be abused by an adversary as a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack.
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.
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.
DISPUTED It was discovered freeradius up to and including version 3.0.19 does not correctly configure logrotate, allowing a local attacker who already has control of the radiusd user to escalate his privileges to root, by tricking logrotate into writing a radiusd-writable file to a directory normally inaccessible by the radiusd user. NOTE: the upstream software maintainer has stated "there is simply no way for anyone to gain privileges through this alleged issue."
