Description Vincent Danen 2012-11-21 17:34:52 EST

When FreeRADIUS is configured to use the 'unix' module and shadow passwords, the password expiration field is ignored.  This could allow a user with an expired password to authenticate against FreeRADIUS.

This was corrected upstream:

https://github.com/alandekok/freeradius-server/commit/1b1ec5ce75e224bd1755650c18ccdaa6dc53e605

And was also corrected in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 via RHBA-2012:0881:

Statement:
