We have revisited this and decided that it needs unique CVE IDs. As
mentioned on that security.html page, "These issues were found by
Jouni Malinen as part of investigating
http://w1.fi/security/2015-4/" - this suggested a possibility that the
CVE IDs listed in
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/05/31/6 would be
applicable. However, FreeRADIUS apparently has an independent
implementation of EAP-pwd. This led to a somewhat unusual situation in
which most of the vulnerability findings were, at a high level, the
same -- but resulted from a different set of mistakes within a
different codebase. The applicable FreeRADIUS changes can be found in
the "Commits on May 4, 2015" section of:
https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/commits/v3.0.x/src/modules/rlm_eap/types/rlm_eap_pwd
and are distinct from the changes in the http://w1.fi/security/2015-4/
patches.
We are associating the three CVE IDs below with the items on the
security.html list, not with the specific FreeRADIUS commits.
>> The EAP-PWD packet length is not checked before the first byte is
>> dereferenced. A zero-length EAP-PWD packet will cause the module to
>> dereference a NULL pointer, and will cause the server to crash.
Use CVE-2015-8762.
>> The commit message payload length is not validated before the packet
>> is decoded. This can result in a read overflow in the server.
>>
>> The confirm message payload length is not validated before the packet
> is decoded. This can result in a read overflow in the server.
Use CVE-2015-8763 for both of these issues.
>> A strcpy() was used to pack a C string into an EAP-PWD packet. This
>> would result in an over-run of the destination buffer by one byte.
Use CVE-2015-8764.
