Synopsis:	Important: cyrus-imapd security update
Issue date:	2009-06-18
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0688

It was discovered that the Cyrus SASL library (cyrus-sasl) does not 
always reliably terminate output from the sasl_encode64() function used 
by programs using this library. The Cyrus IMAP server (cyrus-imapd) 
relied on this function's output being properly terminated. Under 
certain conditions, improperly terminated output from sasl_encode64() 
could, potentially, cause cyrus-imapd to crash, disclose portions of its 
memory, or lead to SASL authentication failures. (CVE-2009-0688)

After installing the update, cyrus-imapd will be restarted automatically.
