How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 freeradius-ldap.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeradius-ldap package and not the freeradius-ldap package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 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.
