Vendor Workaround
Disable the EAP-FAST submodule in the FreeRADIUS configuration, or restrict incoming RADIUS traffic to trusted network access points. 1. Disable EAP-FAST: In `/etc/raddb/mods-available/eap` (or `/etc/raddb/eap.conf`), comment out the `fast` section within the `eap` configuration block and verify that `default_eap_type` is not set to `fast`. 2. Apply configuration changes: ``` systemctl restart radiusd ``` 3. Limit network exposure: Restrict UDP port 1812 to authorized Network Access Server (NAS) clients using firewalld: ``` firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --add-source=<TRUSTED_IP_OR_SUBNET> firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --add-port=1812/udp firewall-cmd --reload ``` Caveats: Disabling EAP-FAST prevents authentication for any network clients that rely exclusively on EAP-FAST. Restricting firewall rules will block traffic from unlisted authenticator sources. Warning: Restarting or reloading the radiusd service will temporarily disrupt active RADIUS authentication processing.

| Description | A flaw was found in freeradius. An improper length validation in the EAP-FAST module allows a stack-based buffer overflow during session ticket processing. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted handshake request, causing the server process to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). | |
