-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-9023 2010-05-25 18:10:04 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : freeradius Product : Fedora 12 Version : 2.1.9 Release : 1.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: - update to latest upstream, mainly bug fix release Feature improvements * Add radmin command "stats detail <file>" to see what is going on inside of a detail file reader. * Added documentation for CoA. See raddb/sites- available/coa * Add sub-option support for Option 82. See dictionary.dhcp * Add "server" field to default SQL NAS table, and documented it. Bug fixes * Reset "received ping" counter for Status-Server checks. In some corner cases it was not getting reset. * Handle large VMPS attributes. * Count accounting responses from a home server in SNMP / statistics code. * Set EAP-Session-Resumed = Yes, not "No" when session is resumed. * radmin packet counter statistics are now unsigned, for numbers 2^31..2^32. After that they roll over to zero. * Be more careful about expanding data in PAP and MS- CHAP modules. This prevents login failures when passwords contain '{'. * Clean up zombie children if there were many "exec" modules being run for one packet, all with "wait = no". * re-open log file after HUP. Closes bug #63. * Fix "no response to proxied packet" complaint for Coa / Disconnect packets. It shouldn't ignore replies to packets it sent. * Calculate IPv6 netmasks correctly. Closes bug #69. * Fix SQL module to re-open sockets if they unexpectedly close. * Track scope for IPv6 addresses. This lets us use link-local addresses properly. Closes bug #70. * Updated Makefiles to no longer use the shell for recursing into subdirs. "make -j 2" should now work. * Updated raddb/sql/mysql/ippool.conf to use "= NULL". Closes bug #75. * Updated Makefiles so that "make reconfig" no longer uses the shell for recursing into subdirs, and re-builds all "configure" files. * Used above method to regenerate all configure scripts. Closes bug #34. * Updated SQL module to allow "server" field of "nas" table to be blank: "". This means the same as it being NULL. * Fixed regex realm example. Create Realm attribute with value of realm from User-Name, not from regex. Closes bug #40. * If processing a DHCP Discover returns "fail / reject", ignore the packet rather than sending a NAK. * Allow '%' to be escaped in sqlcounter module. * Fix typo internal hash table. * For PEAP and TTLS, the tunneled reply is added to the reply, rather than integrated via the operators. This allows multiple VSAs to be added, where they would previously be discarded. * Make request number unsigned. This changes nothing other than the debug output when the server receives more than 2^31 packets. * Don't block when reading child output in 'exec wait'. This means that blocked children get killed, instead of blocking the server. * Enabled building without any proxy functionality * radclient now prefers IPv4, to match the default server config. * Print useful error when a realm regex is invalid * relaxed rules for preprocess module "with_cisco_vsa_hack". The attributes can now be integer, ipaddr, etc. (i.e. non-string) * Allow rlm_ldap to build if ldap_set_rebind_proc() has only 2 arguments. * Update configure script for rlm_python to avoid dynamic linking problems on some platforms. * Work-around for bug #35 * Do suid to "user" when running in debug mode as root * Make "allow_core_dumps" work in more situations. * In detail file reader, treat bad records as EOF. This allows it to continue working when the disk is full. * Fix Oracle default accounting queries to work when there are no gigawords attributes. Other databases already had the fix. * Fix rlm_sql to show when it opens and closes sockets. It already says when it cannot connect, so it should say when it can connect. * "chmod -x" for a few C source files. * Pull update spec files, etc. from RedHat into the redhat/ directory. * Allow spaces when parsing integer values. This helps people who put "too much" into an SQL value field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon May 24 2010 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.9-1 - update to latest upstream, mainly bug fix release Feature improvements * Add radmin command "stats detail <file>" to see what is going on inside of a detail file reader. * Added documentation for CoA.

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 * Mon Dec 21 2009 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.7-5 - fix various rpmlint issues. * Fri Dec 4 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 2.1.7-4 - rebuild against perl 5.10.1 * Thu Dec 3 2009 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 2.1.7-3 - resolves: bug #522111 non-conformant initscript also change permission of /var/run/radiusd from 0700 to 0755 so that "service radiusd status" can be run as non-root -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
