Severity
+ Critical
Remote
+ Remote
Type
+ Arbitrary code execution
Description
+ A security issue has been found in freeradius <= 3.0.15, where the data2vp_wimax() function checks for WiMAX attributes which are too small, but it does not check for WiMAX attributes which are too large. As a result, the server can be convinced to read past the end of an attribute, and to write past the end of memory allocated via malloc(). A remote attacker with the ability to send packets which are accepted by the server can cause a write overflow, possibly leading to remote code execution.
