Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.880826
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for cyrus-imapd CESA-2009:1116 centos5 i386
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cyrus-imapd'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cyrus-imapd'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The cyrus-imapd packages contain a high-performance mail server with IMAP,
POP3, NNTP, and SIEVE support.

It was discovered that the Cyrus SASL library (cyrus-sasl) does not always
reliably terminate output from the sasl_encode64() function used by
programs using this library. The Cyrus IMAP server (cyrus-imapd) relied on
this function's output being properly terminated. Under certain conditions,
improperly terminated output from sasl_encode64() could, potentially, cause
cyrus-imapd to crash, disclose portions of its memory, or lead to SASL
authentication failures. (CVE-2009-0688)

Users of cyrus-imapd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve this issue. After installing the update, cyrus-imapd will be
restarted automatically.

Affected Software/OS:
cyrus-imapd on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
