Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0007)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'freeradius' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0007 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'freeradius' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0007 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated freeradius packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was discovered freeradius 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 (CVE-2019-10143).

An information leak was discovered in the implementation of EAP-pwd in
freeradius. An attacker could initiate several EAP-pwd handshakes to leak
information, which can then be used to recover the user's WiFi password by
performing dictionary and brute-force attacks (CVE-2019-13456).

Denial of service issues due to multithreaded BN_CTX access
(CVE-2019-17185).

Affected Software/OS:
'freeradius' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
