    Synopsis
    ========

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Gentoo's systemd unit for FreeRADIUS which could lead to root privilege escalation.

    Background
    ==========

    FreeRADIUS is a modular, high performance free RADIUS suite.

    Affected packages
    =================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    1 net-dialup/freeradius < 3.0.20-r1 >= 3.0.20-r1

    Description
    ===========

    It was discovered that Gentoo’s FreeRADIUS systemd unit set permissions
    on an unsafe directory on start.

    Impact
    ======

    A local attacker could escalate privileges.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All FreeRADIUS users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=net-dialup/freeradius-3.0.20-r1"
