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 in fr_dhcp_decode() when decoding option 63
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 out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way FreeRADIUS server handled decoding of DHCP packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the FreeRADIUS server by sending a specially crafted DHCP request.

CVE-2017-10983 freeradius: Out-of-bounds read in fr_dhcp_decode() when decoding option 63
bugzilla·2017-07-07·CVSS 7.5
CVE-2017-10983 [HIGH] CVE-2017-10983 freeradius: Out-of-bounds read in fr_dhcp_decode() when decoding option 63
CVE-2017-10983 freeradius: Out-of-bounds read in fr_dhcp_decode() when decoding option 63
The fr_dhcp_decode() function performed a strcmp() on binary data in an internal data structure, instead of checking the length of the option and doing a memcmp. The server can read memory until it reaches a zero byte. Depending on memory layout, this read may initiate a page fault, and cause the server to crash.
The security impact is denial of service by any network device capable of sending DHCP packets to FreeRADIUS, which sends a DHCP option 63 with non-zero contents.
Affected versions: 2.0.0 through 3.0.14, inclusive.
