Debian LTS: DLA-2044-1: cyrus-sasl2 security update
Summary
There has been an out-of-bounds write in Cyrus SASL leading to
unauthenticated remote denial-of-service in OpenLDAP via a malformed LDAP
packet. The OpenLDAP crash was ultimately caused by an off-by-one error
in _sasl_add_string in common.c in cyrus-sasl.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
2.1.26.dfsg1-13+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your cyrus-sasl2 packages.
