Description

Several problems have been discovered in freeradius, a high-performance and highly configurable RADIUS server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2005-4744 SuSE researchers have discovered several off-by-one errors may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

- CVE-2006-1354 Due to insufficient input validation it is possible for a remote attacker to bypass authentication or cause a denial of service.
