Hi all,

It looks like RADIUS RFC 2865, Section "5. Attributes" is ambiguous when it
talks about the attribute value size:

First it says: "The Value field is zero or more octets", then it provides 5
possible value data types none of which allows a zero length value.

Section "5.26. Vendor-Specific" also says about the value of a
vendor-specific attribute "The String field is one or more octets".

Thus the RFC allows empty values for attributes in general but prohibits
for any declared types of the attributes.

Regards,
Oleg
