Subject: [RHSA-2000:094-01] Updated cyrus-sasl packages available
for Red Hat Linux 7
Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated cyrus-sasl packages available for Red Hat Linux 7
Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:094-01
Issue date: 2000-10-26
Updated on: 2000-10-26
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: cyrus-sasl authorization
Cross references: N/A
1. Topic:
Updated cyrus-sasl packages are now available for Red Hat Linux
7.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.0 – i386
3. Problem description:
An error existed in the authorization checks in the version of
cyrus-sasl shipped with Red Hat Linux 7. Due to this bug, users who
had been successfully authenticated could be allowed access to
resources even if the system had been configured to deny these
users access.
Versions of cyrus-sasl included in previous releases of Red Hat
Power Tools did not implement this function and are not affected by
this bug.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
for more info):
18968 – cyrus-sasl-1.5.24 is not the “real” 1.5.24
6. RPMs required:
Red Hat Linux 7.0:
i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.i386.rpm
sources:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/SRPMS/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.src.rpm

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been
corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the
following command:
rpm –checksig –nogpg <filename>
