No complete analysis paper I have seen so far, but a few problems in RADIUS
protocol have been spotted out some time ago too.  Possible dictionary
attack on 'shared secret' passwords (could be used to spoof Access-Accept
packets)  if an attacker is able to sniff communication between radius
server and client is what I can remember from the top of my head. :)
