Synopsis
========

The EAP-MSCHAPv2 module of FreeRADIUS is affected by a validation issue
which causes some authentication checks to be bypassed.

Background
==========

FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS authentication server
implementation.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-dialup/freeradius < 1.1.1 >= 1.1.1
< 1.0.0

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

FreeRADIUS suffers from insufficient input validation in the
EAP-MSCHAPv2 state machine.

Impact
======

An attacker could cause the server to bypass authentication checks by
manipulating the EAP-MSCHAPv2 client state machine.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
