Summary:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2004:889
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2004:889. SASL[1] is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding authentication support to connection-based protocols. A vulnerability[2] has been discovered in the Cyrus implementation of the SASL library. The library honors the environment variable SASL_PATH blindly, which allows a local attacker to link against a malicious library to run arbitrary code with the privileges of a setuid or setgid application. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0884 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2004:889 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002004 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.2
