RHBA-2012:1224 - cyrus-sasl bug fix update
Synopsis
cyrus-sasl bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated cyrus-sasl packages that resolve memory leaks are now available.
Description
The cyrus-sasl packages contain the Cyrus implementation of SASL. SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding authentication support to connection-based protocols.
These updated cyrus-sasl packages fix the following bug:
- A memory leak in the digest-md5 plugin was discovered. Specifically, make_client_request was called twice without being freed. Consequently, applications that used DIGEST-MD5 with very large datasets could (and did) crash. This update frees make_client_request correctly and closes the memory leak. Applications using DIGEST-MD5 as part of authentication with large datasets now work as expected. (BZ#849581)
Note: this update also incorporates two upstream memory leak fixes reported during customer testing.
All cyrus-sasl users should upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these leaks.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
