Cistron · Radiusd-Cistron · CVE-2003-0450
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Cistron RADIUS daemon (radiusd-cistron) versions 1.6.6 and earlier
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large value in an `NAS-Port` attribute. This attribute is interpreted as a negative number, causing a buffer overflow.
Recommendations:
For versions 1.6.6 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.6.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `NAS-Port` attribute to minimize the risk of exploitation.
