Debian: cyrus-sasl arbitrary code execution real fix
Summary
This advisory corrects DSA 563-1 which contained a library that caused
other programs to fail unindented.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.27-3woody3.
For reference the advisory text follows:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Cyrus implementation of
the SASL library, the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a
method for adding authentication support to connection-based
protocols. The library honors the environment variable SASL_PATH
blindly, which allows a local user to link against a malicious
library to run arbitrary code with the privileges of a setuid or
setgid application.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.28-6.2 of cyrus-sasl and in version 2.1.19-1.3 of
cyrus-sasl2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libsasl packages.
