Thats the problem, version 1.1.8 have no problem!(This time I check this
myself. with the code from download page.)

In Mikrotik forum they said to ask your team (not to me they said this
is radclient problem.) thats I love : infinite loop :))

So check this at radius.c about line 2110
/*
* Calculate and/or verify digest.
*/
switch(packet->code) {
int rcode=0;
char buffer[32];
case PW_AUTHENTICATION_REQUEST:
case PW_STATUS_SERVER:
/*
* The authentication vector is random
* nonsense, invented by the client.
*/
break;
and after this break, the function return 0 that means OK , so where the
code take care of this messages digest?

This timing attack (I read the comment on the code) so bypassing this
function (rad_verify) means some one can do this attack, and If yo don't
believe me, check the code, any PW_AUTHENTICATION_REQUEST package will
pass this function.
so what difference, and why this pass exist at all when there is some
exception?
