The wait_for_child_to_die function in main/event.c in FreeRADIUS 2.1.x before 2.1.10, in certain circumstances involving long-term database outages, does not properly handle long queue times for requests, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by sending many requests.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older FreeRADIUS 2.1.x releases before 2.1.10. During long database outages, a flood of requests can build up long queues and crash the daemon, interrupting authentication services. Exposure is limited to FreeRADIUS 2.1.x versions before 2.1.10, especially deployments dependent on a database backend that may experience prolonged outages. Prioritize if legacy FreeRADIUS supports VPN, Wi-Fi, or privileged access authentication. The main business risk is authentication outage, not data theft. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FreeRADIUS 2.1.x deployments to 2.1.10 or later where supported.; Apply downstream OS vendor packages that include the referenced FreeRADIUS fix.; Review FreeRADIUS and distribution advisories for environment-specific guidance..
