Hi, I have updated my debian woody box via dselect (update) with the latest cyrus-sasl update:
[...] cyrus-sasl (1.5.27-3woody3) stable-security; urgency=high * Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team * Corrected the assignment to path which is a char *, not a char -- Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 12 Oct 2004 15:54:04 +0200 cyrus-sasl (1.5.27-3woody2) stable-security; urgency=high * Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team * Added special detection routine for big/little endianess on MIPS since the line "byteorder : {big|little} endian" from /proc/cpuinfo was removed as of Linux 2.4.20, resulting in the mipsel buildd being unable to build this package. -- Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:28:45 +0200 cyrus-sasl (1.5.27-3woody1) stable-security; urgency=high * Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team * Applied upstream patch to not blindly trust SASL_PATH blindly anymore [lib/common.c, CAN-2004-0884] -- Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 8 Oct 2004 16:45:19 +0200 [...] In my sendmail.mc I am using: define(`SMART_HOST', `[smtp.memyselfandI.de]')dnl FEATURE(`authinfo')dnl My authinfo looks like this: AuthInfo:smtp.memyselfandI.de "U:whoareyou" "P:donttellanyone" Before the security update everything worked o.k ... I could use the SMTP-AUTH without any problems. Doing a telnet localhost smtp ehlo locahost shows me 250 AUTH DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN GSSAPI CRAM-MD5 Since the security update the sendmail SMTP-AUTH is not working anymore instead I reveive a temporary auth failure in my sendmail logs. The telnet localhost smtp command does not show any 250 AUTH message anymore. I do not know exactly if I am missing something but I think that this security-update Package : cyrus-sasl Vulnerability : unsanitised input Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2004-0884 Debian Bug : 275498 is not running without errors.
