Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0338
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0338. FreeRADIUS is a high-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server designed to allow centralized authentication and authorization for a network. A memory leak flaw was found in the way FreeRADIUS parses certain authentication requests. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted authentication request which could cause FreeRADIUS to leak a small amount of memory. If enough of these requests are sent, the FreeRADIUS daemon would consume a vast quantity of system memory leading to a possible denial of service. (CVE-2007-2028) Users of FreeRADIUS should update to these erratum packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0338.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
