RHBA-2011:0610 - freeradius bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

freeradius bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated freeradius packages that fix two bugs and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS server which allows RADIUS clients to perform authentication against the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server may optionally perform accounting of it's operations via the RADIUS protocol.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The FreeRADIUS packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.1.10, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#644100)

• Previously, the FreeRADIUS server failed to start when the rlm_perl or rlm_python modules were used due to unresolved symbols encountered by the dynamic loader. This update uses the dynamic loader option which must be explicitly turned on via lt_dladvise to allow loaded modules to globally export their symbols. Now, rlm_perl and rlm_python FreeRADIUS modules are successfully loaded and the FreeRADIUS server successfully starts in this configuration.(BZ#689045)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

• This update makes the radtest script available for testing with IPv6. (BZ#599528)

All FreeRADIUS users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
