Doc Text:
An authentication bypass flaw was found in the way the EAP module in FreeRADIUS handled TLS session resumption. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to bypass the inner authentication check in FreeRADIUS by resuming an older unauthenticated TLS session.

Description Andrej Nemec 2017-05-30 03:48:49 EDT
The TLS session cache in FreeRADIUS fails to reliably prevent resumption of an unauthenticated session, which allows remote attackers (such as malicious 802.1X supplicants) to bypass authentication via PEAP or TTLS.

Created freeradius tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1456698]
Comment 3 Dhiru Kholia 2017-06-06 02:58:58 EDT
Mitigation:

Disable TLS session caching in FreeRADIUS by setting "enable = no" in the cache subsection of EAP module settings, which are in /etc/raddb/mods-available/eap file.
