<affected>
<package name="dev-libs/cyrus-sasl" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">2.1.18-r2</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="le">2.1.18-r1</vulnerable>

<p>
Cyrus-SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
Security Layer.

</background>
<description>
<p>
Cyrus-SASL contains a remote buffer overflow in the digestmda5.c file.
Additionally, under certain conditions it is possible for a local user
to exploit a vulnerability in the way the SASL_PATH environment
variable is honored (CAN-2004-0884).
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
An attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code with the Effective
ID of the application calling the Cyrus-SASL libraries.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Cyrus-SASL users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-r2"
# emerge ">=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-r2"</code>
</resolution>
