1. Topic:

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

2000-11-27: Added packages for Red Hat Linux 7 for Alpha

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386, alpha

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:

Red Hat Linux 7.0:

alpha:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/alpha/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.alpha.rpm

i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.i386.rpm

sources:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/SRPMS/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.src.rpm

7. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
6a969df3702bb670ae65cf0824146472  7.0/SRPMS/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.src.rpm
0e6f0edb4df1489e1a12e5ea16f9f828  7.0/alpha/cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11.alpha.rpm

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security.  Our key
is available at:
    http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html

You can verify each package with the following command:
    rpm --checksig  <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
    rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
