Description

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.

Classification

Solution

Upgrade to version 3DNS 4.5.11 or higher and Big-IP 4.6.3 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
