Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:664
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:664. Cistron RADIUS is an authentication and accounting system for terminal servers that speak the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol. David Luyer reported[1] a buffer overflow vulnerability in radiusd-cistron versions <= 1.6.6 that could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) and possibly execute arbitrary code in the server context. The vulnerability resides in the handling of the NAS-Port attribute, which can be interpreted as a negative number, causing a buffer overflow. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2003-0450 to this issue[2]. This update fixes the problem using a patched version of radiusd-cistron 1.6.6. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=196063 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0450 http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8690 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:664 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
