Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120043
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-338)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cyrus-sasl' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-338 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cyrus-sasl' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-338 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread crash and consumption) via (1) an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140 is enabled, a (2) DES or (3) MD5 encrypted password, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

Affected Software/OS:
'cyrus-sasl' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.3
