F5 Big-IP and 3DNS contain a flaw that may allow a malicious user to bypass RADIUS authentication. The issue is triggered when an attacker sends a specially-crafted RADIUS ACCEPT packet response, with the origin set as the radius server, and the login_radius function fails to properly check the shared secret, resulting in a loss of integrity.
