NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeradius:3.0/freeradius-krb5 package and not the freeradius:3.0/freeradius-krb5 package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In freeradius, the EAP-PWD function compute_password_element() leaks information about the password which allows an attacker to substantially reduce the size of an offline dictionary attack.
