It has been discovered that Cyrus SASL incorrectly handled certain invalid password salts. An attacker could have used this issue to cause Cyrus SASL to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
For a more detailed description of the security problems, you can see Canonical's security notification.
The security flaws can be fixed if you upgrade your system(s) to the latest libsasl2-2 packages specific to each distribution. To apply the update, run the Update Manager application.
