+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Cyrus-SASL contains a remote buffer overflow in the digestmda5.c file.
+ Additionally, under certain conditions it is possible for a local user
+ to exploit a vulnerability in the way the SASL_PATH environment
+ variable is honored (CAN-2004-0884).

+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code with the Effective
+ ID of the application calling the Cyrus-SASL libraries.

+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Cyrus-SASL users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
