- (Cyrus-SASL: Buffer overflow and SASL_PATH vulnerabilities)
-
-
- Cyrus-SASL contains a remote buffer overflow in the digestmda5.c file.
- Additionally, under certain conditions it is possible for a local user to
- exploit a vulnerability in the way the SASL_PATH environment variable is
- honored (CAN-2004-0884).
-
- Impact
-
- An attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code with the Effective ID
- of the application calling the Cyrus-SASL libraries.
-
- Workaround
-
- There is no known workaround at this time.
-
- References:
- http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0884
-
-
- Solution:
- All Cyrus-SASL users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
- # emerge sync
- # emerge -pv ">=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-r2"
- # emerge ">=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-r2"
