NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeradius package and not the freeradius package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The EAP-PWD module in FreeRADIUS 3.0 through 3.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and server crash) via a zero-length EAP-PWD packet.
