Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: RADIUS Protocol (affected versions not specified) FreeRadius (affected versions not specified) Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS (affected versions not specified) eduMFA prior version 2.2.0 Description: The RADIUS protocol under RFC 2865 is susceptible to forgery attacks by a local attacker who can modify any valid Response (Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or Access-Challenge) to any other response using a chosen-prefix collision attack against MD5 Response Authenticator signature. This vulnerability allows an attacker performing a meddler-in-the-middle attack between a RADIUS client and server to bypass authentication and escalate privileges. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited. Recommendations: For RADIUS Protocol: Update the protocol to use a secure authentication method, such as a hashed message authentication code (HMAC) or a digital signature. For FreeRadius: Update to a version that includes a fix for this vulnerability. For Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS: Update the RADIUS server profile to use a secure authentication protocol, such as TLS, and ensure that CHAP or PAP is not used unless encapsulated by an encrypted tunnel. For eduMFA: Update to version 2.2.0 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the RADIUS server and limiting the use of vulnerable protocols, such as CHAP or PAP, until a patch is available.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software versions 9.16.1 and later Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software versions 7.0.0 and later **Description** A vulnerability in the handling of RSA keys on devices running Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve an RSA private key. This vulnerability is due to a logic error when the RSA key is stored in memory on a hardware platform that performs hardware-based cryptography. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using a Lenstra side-channel attack against the targeted device. Approximately 5 percent of the RSA keys on a device that is running a vulnerable release of Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software are expected to be affected. If an attacker obtains the RSA private key, they could use the key to impersonate a device that is running Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software or to decrypt the device traffic. **Recommendations** For Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software versions 9.16.1 and later, administrators may need to remove improperly formed or vulnerable RSA keys and likely revoke any certificates associated with these keys. For Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software versions 7.0.0 and later, administrators may need to remove improperly formed or vulnerable RSA keys and likely revoke any certificates associated with these keys. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of RSA keys on affected devices until a patch is available.
