AI-suggested

Red Hat advises disabling the EAP-SIM submodule in the FreeRADIUS configuration if SIM-based authentication is not required by commenting out or removing the 'sim' block in the eap module configuration file (/etc/raddb/mods-available/eap or /etc/raddb/mods-enabled/eap) and restarting the FreeRADIUS service. Additionally, restrict RADIUS UDP traffic on ports 1812 and 1813 to trusted Network Access Server IP addresses using firewall rules to limit exposure. These mitigations reduce the attack surface and prevent exploitation.

Description

CVE-2026-127029 is a vulnerability in the FreeRADIUS EAP-SIM module on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. It involves a stack buffer overflow caused by improper length checking of a client-supplied identity during authentication. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted EAP-SIM messages, causing the RADIUS server to crash and resulting in a denial of service. This flaw only affects deployments with the EAP-SIM submodule enabled. Mitigation includes disabling the EAP-SIM submodule if not needed and restricting RADIUS UDP traffic to trusted sources.
