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

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

7. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name

6a969df3702bb670ae65cf0824146472 7.0/SRPMS/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.src.rpm
59aaec92c60ddaed257bd581d976055b 7.0/i386/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.i386.rpm

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our
key is available at:
http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm –checksig <filename>

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>
