+ <background>
+ <p>
+ GNU Radius is a GNU version of Radius, a server for remote user
+ authentication and accounting.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A format string vulnerability was found in the sqllog function from the
+ SQL accounting code for radiusd. That function is only used if one or
+ more of the "postgresql", "mysql" or "odbc" USE flags are enabled,
+ which is not the default, except for the "server" 2006.1 and 2007.0
+ profiles which enable the "mysql" USE flag.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An unauthenticated remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with
+ the privileges of the user running radiusd, which may be the root user.
+ It is important to note that there is no default GNU Radius user for
+ Gentoo systems because no init script is provided with the package.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GNU Radius users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dialup/gnuradius-1.4"</code>
+ </resolution>
