Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in FreeRADIUS might allow remote attackers to bypass
authentication.

Background
==========

FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-dialup/freeradius        < 3.0.14                  >= 3.0.14

Description
===========

It was discovered that the implementation of TTLS and PEAP in
FreeRADIUS skips inner authentication when it handles a resumed TLS
connection. The affected versions of FreeRADIUS fails to reliably
prevent the resumption of unauthenticated sessions unless the TLS
session cache is disabled completely.

Impact
======

An unauthenticated remote user can bypass authentication by starting a
session, and then resuming an unauthenticated TLS session before inner
authentication has been completed successfully.

Workaround
==========

Set "enabled = no" in the cache subsection of eap module settings to
disable TLS session caching.

Resolution
==========

All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/freeradius-3.0.14"
