1. Topic:

Updated Cyrus-SASL packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7, 7.1, and
7.2. These packages fix a possible format-string vulnerability in the
default logging callback function provided by libsasl.

2. Problem description:

The default logging callback function supplied by the Cyrus SASL library
suffers from a format-string vulnerability. This function is used when a
server which uses Cyrus SASL attempts to set or change a user's secrets.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2001-0869 to this issue.

3. Bug IDs fixed: (see bugzilla for more information)

43079 - Split CRAM-MD5 and Digest-MD5 from main package

4. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386

5. RPMs required:

6. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

7. Verification:

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our key is available at:
http://www.redhat.com/about/contact.html

You can verify each package with the following command: rpm --checksig filename

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg filename

Note that you need RPM >= 3.0 to check GnuPG keys.
