Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56694
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-272-1 (cyrus-sasl2)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to cyrus-sasl2 announced via advisory USN-272-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal A Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in the SASL authentication library when using the DIGEST-MD5 plugin. By sending a specially crafted realm name, a malicious SASL server could exploit this to crash the application that uses SASL. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.1.19-1.3ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2.1.19-1.5ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 2.1.19-1.5ubuntu4.2 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. If you configured Postfix, OpenLDAP or possibly other server applications to use SASL with the DIGEST-MD5 plugin, you need to restart these services after the security upgrade. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-272-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.6
