CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-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.
