Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeRADIUS versions 2.1.x through 2.1.9

Description The issue arises from the wait for child to die function in main/event.c, which does not properly handle long queue times for requests under certain circumstances, such as long-term database outages. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending many requests, leading to a daemon crash.

Recommendations For FreeRADIUS versions 2.1.x through 2.1.9, update to version 2.1.10 or later to resolve the issue.
