DESCRIPTION
Cyrus-SASL is an open-source implementation of SASL, the "Simple
Authentication and Security Layer", which is an useful API for
adding
authentication, authorization, and security to network protocols.
Examples of applications linked to sasl include sendmail, OpenLDAP

Kari Hurtta reported[1] a format string bug[2] in one of the logging
functions that could be exploited by an attacker to gain access to a
machine or to acquire higher privileges.
