Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.70842
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1131-1 (postfix)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1131-1 (postfix)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to postfix announced via advisory USN-1131-1. Details: Thomas Jarosch discovered that Postfix incorrectly handled authentication mechanisms other than PLAIN and LOGIN when the Cyrus SASL library is used. A remote attacker could use this to cause Postfix to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code as the postfix user. Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.04: postfix 2.8.2-1ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 10.10: postfix 2.7.1-1ubuntu0.2 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: postfix 2.7.0-1ubuntu0.2 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: postfix 2.5.1-2ubuntu1.4 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1131-1
