RADIUS: Inconsistent Length
This protocol anomaly detects a RADIUS packet with a length that does not equal the sum of its attribute lengths plus 20. According to the RADIUS RFC, the length of a RADIUS packet should be the sum of all its attribute lengths plus 20, which is the sum of the lengths of other fields including code, identifier, length, and authenticator.
Extended Description
A RADIUS packet with an inconsistency between lengths of Attributes fields and the Length field is a protocol anomaly.
