By exploiting the weak MD5 integrity check, an attacker can forge RADIUS responses, effectively bypassing authentication controls and gaining unauthorized access to network resources. This poses a significant threat to environments relying on RADIUS for user and device authentication, particularly those lacking enforced Message-Authenticator attributes or TLS/DTLS encryption.\nThere are several preconditions for this attack to be possible:\n*  An attacker needs man-in-the-middle network access between the RADIUS client and server\n* The client and server must be using RADIUS/UDP to communicate\n* The attacker needs to be able to trigger a RADIUS client Access-Request ( for example the client is using PAP authentication)\nDue to these attack surface limitations, the impact is rated Important.\nWithin Red Hat offerings, this impacts the FreeRADIUS package. This flaw allows a local, unauthenticated attacker to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack to log in as a third party without knowing their credentials. Servers using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) with required Message-Authenticator attributes or those employing TLS/DTLS encryption are not affected.", "threat_severity": "Important"}
