CVE-2017-10978 FreeRADIUS vulnerabilities
Title: FreeRADIUS vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in FreeRADIUS.
Guido Vranken discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly handled memory when
decoding packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
FreeRADIUS to crash or hang, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

freeradius: Out-of-bounds read/write due to improper output buffer size check in make_secret()
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 make_secret()" and a denial of service.
An out-of-bounds read and write flaw was found in the way FreeRADIUS server handled RADIUS packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the FreeRADIUS server by sending a specially crafted RADIUS packet.

CVE-2017-10978 [HIGH] CVE-2017-10978 freeradius: Out-of-bounds read/write due to improper output buffer size check in make_secret()
CVE-2017-10978 freeradius: Out-of-bounds read/write due to improper output buffer size check in make_secret()
The make_secret() function does not properly check for output buffer size before writing data. It can perform a read or write overflow of up to 16 octets.
The issue can happen when when the server is sending a RADIUS packet that is almost at the maximum (4K octets), and the last attribute in the packet is an Ascend-Send-Secret (or similar) attribute. The data being written is an MD5 digest of the shared secret, concatenated to data which is under the attackers control.
This issue can also happen when receiving a packet that has an Ascend-Send-Secret (or similar) attribute of the wrong size. The server will read data past the end of the attribute, up to a limit of 16 octets.
