Updated radiusd-cistron packages, which fix various security issues, are now available.
The radiusd-cistron package contains a server daemon for the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) client/server security protocol. Various vulnerabilities have been found in Cistron RADIUS as well as other RADIUS servers and clients. In versions of Cistron RADIUS 1.6.5 and earlier, malformed packets could be used to gain additional privileges. All users of Cistron RADIUS are advised to upgrade to version 1.6.6, which is not vulnerable to these issues. Pay special attention to the installation instructions in the Solution section as they vary significantly from the usual update method.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
