+    <p>
+    James Ralston reported that in certain situations, Cyrus-SASL does not
+    properly terminate strings which can result in buffer overflows when
+    performing Base64 encoding.

+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote unauthenticated user might send specially crafted packets to a
+    daemon using Cyrus-SASL, possibly resulting in the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the daemon or a
+    Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Cyrus-SASL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23"</code>
