Bug: Dynamic IP Blocking Does Not Block Repeated Failed Logins on RADIUS Realms

Version Affected: 24.4.2 and earlier
Bug Number: SAIDP-870
Bug Status: Closed - Fixed
Fixed in Version(s): 24.4.3

 

Overview

On SecureAuth Identity Platform 24.4.2 and earlier, Dynamic IP Blocking does not block repeated failed login attempts on RADIUS Authentication realms.

 

Cause

A defect in Dynamic IP Blocking's failure-counter logic prevented failure counts from incrementing correctly for RADIUS realms, so an IP address's failed login attempts never reached the threshold needed to trigger a block.

 

Resolution / Workaround

Upgrade to version 24.4.3 or later to resolve this issue.
