NVD Description

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

In freeradius, when an EAP-SIM supplicant sends an unknown SIM option, the server will try to look that option up in the internal dictionaries. This lookup will fail, but the SIM code will not check for that failure. Instead, it will dereference a NULL pointer, and cause the server to crash.
