Package        : radiusd-cistron
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no

radiusd-cistron contains a bug allowing a buffer overflow when a long
NAS-Port attribute is received.  This could allow a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code on the with the privileges of the RADIUS daemon
(usually root).

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.6-1woody1.

For the old stable distribution (potato), this problem will be fixed
in a later advisory.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your radiusd-cistron package.
