Debian DLA-2044-1 : cyrus-sasl2 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 132344

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

There has been an out-of-bounds write in Cyrus SASL leading to unauthenticated remote denial of service in OpenLDAP via a malformed LDAP packet. The OpenLDAP crash was ultimately caused by an off-by-one error in _sasl_add_string in common.c in cyrus-sasl.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.26.dfsg1-13+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your cyrus-sasl2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
