CVE-2010-3697  (opens in a new tab)

Upgrade freeradius/freeradius-server to version 2.1.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The wait_for_child_to_die function in main/event.c in FreeRADIUS 2.1.x before 2.1.10, in certain circumstances involving long-term database outages, does not properly handle long queue times for requests, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by sending many requests.
