CVE-2012-4741
The RADIUS extension in PacketFence before 3.3.0 uses a different user name than is used for authentication for users with custom VLAN assignment extensions, which allows remote attackers to spoof user identities via the User-Name RADIUS attribute.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.38%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
