NVD Description

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