Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2024-0264)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'freeradius' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0264 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'freeradius' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0264 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: This vulnerability allows an attacker performing a meddler-in-the-middle attack between Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS firewall and a RADIUS server to bypass authentication and escalate privileges to 'superuser' when RADIUS authentication is in use and either CHAP or PAP is selected in the RADIUS server profile. CHAP and PAP are protocols with no Transport Layer Security (TLS), and hence vulnerable to meddler-in-the-middle attacks. Neither protocol should be used unless they are encapsulated by an encrypted tunnel. If they are in use, but are encapsulated within a TLS tunnel, they are not vulnerable to this attack. For additional information regarding this vulnerability, please see [link moved to references]. Note: these two lines are added upstream in the default radiusd.conf file: ''' require_message_authenticator = auto limit_proxy_state = auto ''' Affected Software/OS: 'freeradius' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.6 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
