Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2004-0053
Package name: cyrus-sasl
Summary: Insecure handling of environment variable
Date: 2004-10-08
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.0
Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
The cyrus-sasl package contains the Cyrus implementation of SASL.
SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for
adding authentication support to connection-based protocols.
Problem description:
Kurt Lieber <klieber at gentoo dot org> reported that libsasl honors the
environment variable SASL_PATH blindly, allowing a local user to compile a
"library" locally that is executed with the EID of SASL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0884 to this issue.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
