-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-0423 2010-01-12 20:06:29 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : freeradius Product : Fedora 12 Version : 2.1.8 Release : 2.fc12 URL : http://www.freeradius.org/ Summary : High-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server Description : The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable. FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be done when adding or deleting new users. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: * Thu Jan 7 2010 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.8-2 - resolves: bug #526559 initial install should run bootstrap to create certificates running radiusd in debug mode to generate inital temporary certificates is no longer necessary, the /etc/raddb/certs/bootstrap is invoked on initial rpm install (not upgrade) if there is no existing /etc/raddb/certs/server.pem file - resolves: bug #528493 use sha1 algorithm instead of md5 during cert generation the certificate configuration (/etc/raddb/certs/{ca,server,client}.cnf) files were modifed to use sha1 instead of md5 and the validity reduced from 1 year to 2 months * Wed Dec 30 2009 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.8-1 - update to latest upstream Feature improvements * Print more descriptive error message for too many EAP sessions. This gives hints on what to do when "failed to store handler" * Commands received from radmin are now printed on stdout when in debugging mode. * Allow accounting packets to be written to a detail file, even if they were read from a different detail file. * Added OpenSSL license exception (src/LICENSE.openssl) Bug fixes * DHCP sockets can now set the broadcast flag before binding to a socket. You need to set "broadcast = yes" in the DHCP listener. * Be more restrictive on string parsing in the config files * Fix password length in scripts /create-users.pl * Be more flexible about parsing the detail file. This allows it to read files where the attributes have been edited. * Ensure that requests read from the detail file are cleaned up (i.e. don't leak) if they are proxied without a response. * Write the PID file after opening sockets, not before (closes bug #29) * Proxying large numbers of packets no longer gives error "unable to open proxy socket". * Avoid mutex locks in libc after fork * Retry packet from detail file if there was no response. * Allow old-style dictionary formats, where the vendor name is the last field in an ATTRIBUTE definition. * Removed all recursive use of mutexes. Some systems just don't support this. * Allow !* to work as documented. * make templates work (see templates.conf) * Enabled "allow_core_dumps" to work again * Print better errors when reading invalid dictionaries * Sign client certificates with CA, rather than server certs. * Fix potential crash in rlm_passwd when file was closed * Fixed corner cases in conditional dynamic expansion. * Use InnoDB for MySQL IP Pools, to gain transactional support * Apply patch to libltdl for CVE-2009-3736. * Fixed a few issues found by LLVM's static checker * Keep track of "bad authenticators" for accounting packets * Keep track of "dropped packets" for auth/acct packets * Synced the "debian" directory with upstream * Made "unlang" use unsigned 32-bit integers, to match the dictionaries. * Wed Dec 30 2009 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.7-7 - Remove devel subpackage. It doesn't make much sense to have a devel package since we don't ship libraries and it produces multilib conflicts. * Mon Dec 21 2009 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.7-6 - more spec file clean up from review comments - remove freeradius-libs subpackage, move libfreeradius-eap and libfreeradius-radius into the main package - fix subpackage requires, change from freeradius-libs to main package - fix description of the devel subpackage, remove referene to non-shipped libs - remove execute permissions on src files included in debuginfo - remove unnecessary use of ldconfig - since all sub- packages now require main package remove user creation for sub-packages - also include the LGPL library license file in addition to the GPL license file - fix BuildRequires for perl so it's compatible with both Fedora, RHEL5 and RHEL6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jan 7 2010 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.8-2 - resolves: bug #526559 initial install should run bootstrap to create certificates running radiusd in debug mode to generate inital temporary certificates is no longer necessary, the /etc/raddb/certs/bootstrap is invoked on initial rpm install (not upgrade) if there is no existing /etc/raddb/certs/server.pem file - resolves: bug #528493 use sha1 algorithm instead of md5 during cert generation the certificate configuration (/etc/raddb/certs/{ca,server,client}.cnf) files were modifed to use sha1 instead of md5 and the validity reduced from 1 year to 2 months * Wed Dec 30 2009 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.8-1 - update to latest upstream Feature improvements * Print more descriptive error message for too many EAP sessions.
