How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 freeradius:3.0/freeradius to version 0:3.0.17-6.module+el8.1.0+3392+9bd8939b or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:3353.

NVD Description

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

It was discovered freeradius up to and including version 3.0.19 does not correctly configure logrotate, allowing a local attacker who already has control of the radiusd user to escalate his privileges to root, by tricking logrotate into writing a radiusd-writable file to a directory normally inaccessible by the radiusd user. NOTE: the upstream software maintainer has stated "there is simply no way for anyone to gain privileges through this alleged issue."
