The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: postfix security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:0843-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011:0843.html Issue date: 2011-05-31 CVE Names: CVE-2011-1720 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated postfix packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v.6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), supporting LDAP, SMTP AUTH (SASL), and TLS. A heap-based buffer over-read flaw was found in the way Postfix performed SASL handlers management for SMTP sessions, when Cyrus SASL authentication was enabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Postfix smtpd server to crash via a specially-crafted SASL authentication request. The smtpd process was automatically restarted by the postfix master process after the time configured with service_throttle_time elapsed. (CVE-2011-1720) Note: Cyrus SASL authentication for Postfix is not enabled by default. Red Hat would like to thank the CERT/CC for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Thomas Jarosch of Intra2net AG as the original reporter. Users of Postfix are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this update, the postfix service will be restarted automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259 5.

Debian 3.0: DSA 568-1 Critical: SASL Arbitrary Code Execution

Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze October 16th, 2004 Debian -- Debian security FAQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : cyrus-sasl-mit Vulnerability : unsanitised input Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2004-0884 Debian Bug : 275498 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. The MIT version of the Cyrus implementation of the SASL library provides bindings against MIT GSSAPI and MIT Kerberos4. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.24-15woody3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your libsasl packages. Upgrade Instructions -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
