1. Topic:



Updated cyrus-sasl packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.



2. Relevant releases/architectures:



Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386



3. Problem description:



An error existed in the authorization checks in the version of cyrus-sasl

shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.  Due to this bug, users who had been

successfully authenticated could be allowed access to resources even if the

system had been configured to deny these users access.



Versions of cyrus-sasl included in previous releases of Red Hat Power Tools

did not implement this function and are not affected by this bug.



4. Solution:



For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:



rpm -Fvh [filename]



where filename is the name of the RPM.



5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):



18968 - cyrus-sasl-1.5.24  is not the "real" 1.5.24





6. RPMs required:
