+ <p>Cyrus-SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
+ Security Layer.

+ <description>
+ <p>In the GNU C Library (glibc) from version 2.17 onwards, the crypt()
+ function call can return NULL when the salt violates specifications or
+ the system is in FIPS-140 mode and a DES or MD5 hashed password is
+ passed. When Cyrus-SASL’s authentication mechanisms call crypt(), a
+ NULL may be returned.

+ <p>A remote attacker could trigger this vulnerability to cause a Denial of

+ </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>
