Moderate: freeradius (SL6)

Synopsis: Moderate: freeradius security update
Issue Date: 2012-10-02
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-3547

FreeRADIUS is a high-performance and highly configurable free Remote
Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server, designed to allow
centralized authentication and authorization for a network.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the way radiusd handled the
expiration date field in X.509 client certificates. A remote attacker could
possibly use this flaw to crash radiusd if it were configured to use the
certificate or TLS tunnelled authentication methods (such as EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, and PEAP). (CVE-2012-3547)

After installing the update, radiusd will be restarted automatically.
