CVE-2022-24705
The rad_packet_recv function in radius/packet.c suffers from a memcpy buffer overflow, resulting in an overly-large recvfrom into a fixed buffer that causes a buffer overflow and overwrites arbitrary memory.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The rad_packet_recv function in radius/packet.c suffers from a memcpy buffer overflow, resulting in an overly-large recvfrom into a fixed buffer that causes a buffer overflow and overwrites arbitrary memory. If the server connects with a malicious client, crafted client requests can remotely trigger this vulnerability.
