Db4; Rhba-2009:0390: Bug Fix Update; Device-Mapper; Rhba-2009:1392: Bug-Fix And Enhancement Update - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.4 - TECHNICAL NOTES Manual

The cyrus-sasl packages contain the Cyrus implementation of SASL. SASL is the Simple
Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding authentication support to connection-based
protocols.
This errata fixes the following bugs:
• the shadow authentication method was not working properly on 64 bit architectures. The saslauthd
might randomly crash if it was configured to authenticate against the shadow file.
• the rimap authentication method was not working properly when user passwords contain double
quote characters. The saslauthd process would hang when it was configured to authenticate with
the rimap method and user password contained such characters.
• the saslauthd init script did not support a reload command although it was mentioned in the init
script usage instructions. The reload is now implemented as a conditional restart of the saslauthd
daemon. (BZ#448154
• the pluginviewer command did not display plugins which were not statically linked into it. The
pluginviewer command is now linked dynamically so it can display any cyrus-sasl plugins which are
installed on the system.
• the ldap authentication method had very long timeout for network failure detection. The saslauthd
now sets a network failure timeout based on the ldap_timeout configuration option.
All Cyrus users are advised to install this updated package, which addresses these issues.
