NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeradius-rest package and not the freeradius-rest package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos: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.
