NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeradius-server-ldap package and not the freeradius-server-ldap package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 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.
