                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Important: cyrus-imapd security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2009:1116-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1116.html
Issue date:        2009-06-18
CVE Names:         CVE-2009-0688 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated cyrus-imapd packages that fix a security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

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.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
