(RHSA-2004:609) freeradius security update

FreeRADIUS is a high-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server
designed to allow centralized authentication and authorization for a network.

A number of flaws were found in FreeRADIUS versions prior to 1.0.1. An
attacker who is able to send packets to the server could construct
carefully constructed packets in such a way as to cause the server to
consume memory or crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0938, CAN-2004-0960, and
CAN-2004-0961 to these issues.

Users of FreeRADIUS should update to these erratum packages that contain
FreeRADIUS 1.0.1, which is not vulnerable to these issues and also corrects
a number of bugs.
