Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51701
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2005:2137
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:2137.

The cyrus-sasl package contains the Cyrus implementation of SASL.
SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for
adding authentication support to connection-based protocols.

At application startup, libsasl and libsasl2 attempts to build a list
of all available SASL plug-ins which are available on the system. To do
so, the libraries search for and attempt to load every shared library found
within the plug-in directory. This location can be set with the SASL_PATH
environment variable.

In situations where an untrusted local user can affect the environment of a
privileged process, this behavior could be exploited to run arbitrary code
with the privileges of a setuid or setgid application. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CVE-2004-0884 to this issue.

Affected platforms:
Redhat 7.3
Redhat 9
Fedora Core 1
