Description

FreeRadius contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when the server recieves a packet with a malformed USR VSA which may cause it to call memcpy with a length value of -1. memcpy interprets this as 0xffffffff which causes it to enter an infinite loop, and will result in loss of availability for the service.
