ICRADIUS *IS* vulnerable to the said CERT advisory.  This was discussed on
the ICRADIUS mailing list.  The lateast I saw was that a patch is being
worked on and it will be in the next release.  I don't know when this
wiil be, but they havn't had one since June (July?).

However, it is always best to do packet filtering on the RADIUS ports so
that only your NASes and proxies are allowed to reach your server.


A few other opinions about RADIUS servers:

XTRADIUS is really nice because you set up system scripts that pass back
reutrn codes to decide if a user is valid.  Accounting information is also
done this way.

One other RADIUS server to mention is OpenRADIUS.  It seems to be in the
early stages of development, but looks very promising.  It has a similar
concept to XTRADIUS.  I recommend checking them out if you are looking for
major flexibility.  It may or may not have any advantages over XTRADIUS, I
am not sure.

If you are new to RADIUS and whatnot, and you would like something
"SQLable", then I would personally recommend ICRADIUS.  The main reason is
because it has two attributes, "Monthly-Time-Limit" and "Total-Time-Limit"
which most others do not have.  (ie: Cistron, Ascend, and any other
'flat-file' RADIUS servers)  This is possible because it is all
SQL-based.  You can also do this with XTRADIUS or OpenRADIUS, but would
require a lot of your own handywork.  It depends how much time and
expertise you have for everything.

Just my two cents.
