7.5 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-127030 Freeradius: stack buffer overflow via unchecked eap-fast sessionticket length
High (7.5) in red hat. EPSS 0.7% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
A flaw was found in freeradius. An improper length validation in the EAP-FAST module allows a stack-based buffer overflow during session ticket processing. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted handshake request, causing the server process to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
